Galloway Township requires landscaping on development and site plans under Chapter 233, and because most of the Township lies in the Pinelands Area, plantings must follow the Pinelands landscaping standard in § 233-83B, which favors native, drought-tolerant vegetation.
Chapter 233 (Land Management) sets landscaping requirements for subdivisions and site plans, including street trees (at least two 2 1/2-inch caliper trees per 100 feet of road frontage unless equivalent trees are preserved) and parking-lot trees. In the Pinelands Area, landscaping must be in accordance with § 233-83B, and all Pinelands-Area development must meet §§ 233-67 through 233-84. The Pinelands Commission recommends native species (blueberry, bayberry, pitch pine, native grasses) that are drought-tolerant and need little fertilizer. For ordinary homeowners planting a private yard, native plants are encouraged but not mandated.
Failure to install or maintain approved landscaping on a permitted development is a site-plan/zoning violation enforced by the Zoning Officer and can block certificate-of-occupancy sign-off.
