Landscaping in Roswell
Roswell sits about seven and a half miles north of Sandy Springs across the Chattahoochee, with a 2020 census population of 92,833, making it one of the largest cities in Georgia. It shares Fulton County with Sandy Springs and it shares the river, which means it shares the steep ground that falls toward it.
Roswell lots tend to be larger and more heavily wooded than the Perimeter suburbs, which changes the landscape brief. Bigger properties mean more edge to maintain, more woodland to manage rather than plant, and more scope for a design that treats the wooded portion as a resource rather than as leftover ground. The plant palette that suits it is a Piedmont woodland palette.
Slope is the other constant. A lot that falls toward the river or toward a tributary sheds storm water fast, because Piedmont clay absorbs at around half an inch an hour and Atlanta storms deliver considerably more than that. Grading, swales and dry creek beds do more useful work on this ground than pipe does, and matting plus deep-rooted planting is what keeps a bare slope from moving in the first storm after it is exposed.
Watering does not change at the county line. Georgia limits outdoor landscape irrigation to the hours between 4 p.m. and 10 a.m. under O.C.G.A. 12-5-7, with a 30-day exemption for new plants, seed and turf, and Roswell sits inside the Metro North Georgia Water Planning District, so the district efficiency requirements on new landscape irrigation systems connected to a public supply apply here too. On a large wooded lot that mostly argues for drip in the beds and irrigation only where there is turf worth keeping.
