Under Long Branch's tree ordinance (Ch. 310, Trees), all trees are the property and responsibility of the owner of the premises where they grow, including trees in the right-of-way between sidewalk and curb. Property owners must maintain trees to prevent hazards to pedestrians and vehicles. During construction, a tree preservation plan requires protective barriers at least 5 feet from tree trunks, which must remain until construction ends. No equipment, chemicals, soil deposits, or construction materials may be placed within protected areas. Post-construction landscaping must use light machinery or hand labor near preserved trees. Buffer plantings in front yards cannot exceed 4 feet; side/rear buffer plantings must be at least 6 feet.
Failure to maintain trees: code violation. Damage to protected trees during construction: fines and mandatory replacement.
