Landscape Makeover Program

The Landscape Makeover Program provides homeowners, municipalities, and farmers with expert advice and financial assistance to create rain gardens and other “green infrastructure” projects that capture polluted stormwater and prevent it from entering our lakes, rivers, and bays.

We host a series of rain garden design workshops and offer free technical advice and funding for homeowners and municipalities. Farm owners will also be eligible for grants to implement stormwater best management practices. Qualifying homeowners are residents of the following areas: Evesham, Pemberton, Lumberton, Mt. Holly, Mt. Laurel, Gibbsboro, Berlin Twp., Berlin Borough, Millville, Vineland, Swedesboro, Woolwich, Mullica Hill, Oldsman Twp., Carney’s Point, Morristown*, Hanover Twp.*, Mt. Olive*, Stanhope Twp.*, Hopatcong Borough*, Netcong Borough*, Roxbury Township* Egg Harbor City*, Hammonton*, and Winslow*

* Rebate only available for lakeside properties

Green infrastructure manages polluted runoff generated by the built environment through green landscape features like rain gardens.

• Homeowners will be able to set up a free consultation with Rutgers University design professionals to plan their gardens.
• Participants who build a rain garden as part of this program may be eligible for a rebate of $4 per square foot, up to $675.

Take the Homeowner Stormwater Survey

What green stormwater practices are you willing to install on your own property?

We can all do our part to help reduce the chance of flooding from storms and the resulting stormwater runoff.  Please take this brief Homeowner Stormwater Survey to help us learn more about flooding and stormwater management in your area and how you might like to be a part of the solution.

Why is this important?

New Jersey is warming faster than the global average and faster than the rest of the Northeast. The Garden State could experience increased frequency and intensity of storms, sea-level rise, ocean acidification, and the associated impacts to the ecological systems, natural resources, drinking water quality, human health and the economy.

Climate change has already brought more destructive storms to New Jersey. A recent report found that hurricane-related winds and floods have caused up to $1.3 billion more in destruction in the state today than they would have if the climate of the 1980s had remained constant.
