Rep. Lou Correa introduced a bill that would let businesses recoup 40% of costs to buy cleaner gardening equipment.
Landscaper Jose Gomez tries to keep up with rapidly falling autumn leaves with his blower on Birch Street near the Brea Sports Park in this file photo. Rep. Lou Correa has proposed a tax credit to help landscapers transition to electric equipment. When Sana Sirodan and her team launched Greenplace landscaping services out of Costa Mesa earlier this year after immigrating from Ukraine due to the war, she said they opted for all-electric equipment from the start.
That’s why Rep. Lou Correa, D-Santa Ana, introduced a bill that, if adopted, would let professional gardeners and landscapers claim a new business tax credit to recoup some of what they spend to upgrade to zero-emission equipment.

The rules don’t apply to existing gas-powered equipment, which will still be legal to use or resell in California. Gas-powered tools have been such an industry standard that Blackman said he didn’t even consider buying electric gear when he worked his way up from doing landscaping as a chore growing up to doing it as a side hustle to launching his own business five years ago. He’s been reading about the coming switch to electric equipment, though, and has been setting aside money for when he has to buy new gear.
