Galloway Township has no ordinance specifically banning or regulating residential artificial turf. Synthetic lawns are generally allowed, but any project altering grading, drainage or impervious coverage is reviewed under the Township's land-management and stormwater rules.
The Township Code contains no dedicated artificial-turf provision, so synthetic turf for a private yard is not prohibited. However, large installations can raise stormwater and impervious-coverage concerns handled under Chapter 233 (Land Management) and NJ stormwater rules, and in the Pinelands Area development standards may limit changes to natural land cover. Homeowners installing turf should confirm lot-coverage and drainage requirements with the Zoning/Construction office, since Galloway's Pinelands setting places a premium on natural, pervious ground cover. Property-maintenance rules still require the yard be kept orderly.
There is no turf-specific penalty. Grading, drainage or coverage work done without required review could be cited as a land-management or construction violation.
