Conroe requires landscaping for new development under Chapter 102 (Vegetation). Mandatory buffer zones require a minimum density of 1 tree every 50 feet. Newly planted trees must be minimum 3-inch caliper for large/medium species or 2.5-inch caliper for small species.
Conroe's Chapter 102 vegetation ordinance sets minimum landscaping standards for development. Mandatory buffer zones between different land uses must be planted with a minimum density of 1 tree every 50 feet. New one- and two-family dwellings require preservation or planting of at least 3 trees (at least one 4-inch caliper in the front yard and two 3-inch caliper elsewhere). All landscape and tree preservation plans must include an irrigation plan designed and sealed by a State of Texas licensed irrigator, except for undisturbed natural areas. The city encourages native and adapted species for the East Texas Piney Woods climate.
Failure to meet landscaping requirements may delay clearing permit release and certificate of occupancy.
