Landscaping in Roswell, GA
Roswell sits along the Chattahoochee River, with a historic downtown, wooded neighborhoods and plenty of homes on rolling, sloped lots.
What shapes Roswell yards
Slopes and runoff are the big landscaping challenge in many Roswell yards. Water moving downhill washes out mulch, erodes beds and collects against foundations, so grading, drainage and retaining walls often come before new plantings.
Homes near the historic district and older neighborhoods tend to favor traditional plantings: boxwoods, hydrangeas, azaleas and clean brick or stone walkways that fit the architecture.
