BUFFALO (WBEN) - As the New York pause order remains in effect, there has been some confusion and even a little outrage regarding the duties that landscapers are allowed to perform.
"The official regulation right now is that they can work on maintenance, and it's not clear that it says mulch, but I think we'll get that clarification today," she said.
"As it stands right now, we still cannot do installation of new plantings and so on unless it's just one single person that's out on a job site," said Sokolowski.
She added that they'll certainly abide by whatever regulations are put forth, but it's disappointing because she believes landscaping is generally a job that can be done safely during the pandemic.
"It's a little frustrating because, for one thing, when you're out on a job site outside, and the type of work that we're doing, pretty much we're able to keep our safe distance of six feet - we can work that way."
