Storm Water Around the House: A Georgia Drainage Guide
Eliminate standing water and protect Georgia home foundations from heavy storms by installing clean #57 stone French drains…
Read moreTowne Lake and the subdivisions off Highway 92 and Towne Lake Parkway are full of homes built in the 1990s and 2000s, and owners are now replacing decks with patios and outdoor kitchens. Those projects sit on 3/4″ minus base gravel laid in thin, well-packed lifts, which keeps Cherokee clay from moving them. Larger backyards often fit a fire pit area beside the new patio.
Where backyards tilt toward the house, a perforated pipe buried in #57 stone keeps runoff out of the basement. For paths through the trees, walkway gravel settles into firm footing that stays dry after a storm. Downtown Woodstock’s historic homes have smaller lots, and many HOAs elsewhere have rules for exterior work. Homes near Lake Allatoona may have Corps of Engineers rules near the shoreline. Downtown Woodstock’s restaurants, shops and Elm Street Arts Village have made it a popular place to live. Towne Lake’s golf course and lake add to the area’s appeal. Many homes have wooded backyards that slope toward creeks, and owners use stone to manage runoff and build usable outdoor space. Spring and fall are the busiest seasons.
Roswell’s hillside homes face the same clay, and our Roswell upgrade article shows how owners there handle it. Ordering for a north metro project is walked through in our Roswell project guide. Layering a patio base is explained in the 3/4″ minus guide, and path thickness for wooded lots on our walkway gravel page.
