The neighborhood’s linear parks and wooded lots make landscape design a serious matter, and many homes along Ponce de Leon Avenue and the side streets have large, sloped yards with mature hardwoods. Rounded river rock lines dry creek beds that carry roof runoff across those slopes, and it adds a natural finish to beds that would otherwise wash out in heavy summer storms. Owners often design these channels to follow the land’s natural drainage.

Gardeners in Druid Hills work with red clay beneath a dense tree canopy, and rich compost soil improves beds of hydrangeas, ferns and native shade plants. Winding paths through the garden are easy to build with walkway gravel, which packs firm and has a natural look that suits historic homes. Druid Hills is a local and national historic district, so many exterior changes need DeKalb County review. Emory and Fernbank add to the area’s green character, and many owners prefer native plantings that fit with the surrounding forest. Many homes also have long gravel or brick driveways that wind under the trees.

Working with the area’s clay is the subject of our piece on giving Atlanta projects a solid start. Owners of mature gardens will also enjoy the Roswell home upgrade article. Our river rock guide shows how to size a dry creek, while the walkway gravel page gives the right depth for a winding garden path.
