Local Landscaping in Dunwoody
Dunwoody is the DeKalb County city just east of Sandy Springs, north of I-285 and east of GA-400. Its center is Dunwoody Village around Chamblee Dunwoody Road and Mount Vernon Road, and its largest green space is Brook Run Park off North Peachtree Road, with the Dunwoody Nature Center in Dunwoody Park nearby. Perimeter Center fills the southwest corner by the mall. Neighborhoods such as Georgetown date from the 1960s, and much of the city was built out in the 1960s through the 1980s as subdivisions of ranch, split-level and two-story brick homes on wooded half-acre to acre lots.
Owners here commonly ask for a patio and fire pit to replace an old deck, new sod or fescue renovation, and pruning of oaks and pines that hang over roofs. Mid-century homes often need drainage fixes where gutters dump onto red clay and water runs toward the basement. Front yards get updated with new walkways, boxwood and hydrangea beds, and lighting, while townhome owners near Perimeter Center look for low-care courtyards. Shade gardens with ferns and native azaleas suit the many lots under tall hardwoods.
Water here is supplied by DeKalb County, and the statewide 4 p.m. to 10 a.m. watering hours apply to established landscapes. Many subdivisions have active neighborhood associations, and some have design review for visible changes. Fall leaf drop is heavy under the old canopy. One call connects you with a local pro who works Dunwoody streets from 30338 to 30346 and 30360.

Landscaping Challenges in Dunwoody
Old decks and patios
Wood decks from the 1970s and 1980s are often replaced with paver or stone patios at grade.
Basement water
Split-levels and basements on clay lots take on water when gutters and grades send runoff toward the house.
Overhanging trees
Mature oaks and pines over roofs and driveways need regular pruning and storm checks.
Thin lawns
Mixed sun and shade leaves many lawns patchy, needing sod in sun and fescue overseeding in shade.

Landscaping in Dunwoody FAQs
Do Dunwoody watering rules differ from Sandy Springs?
Dunwoody water comes from DeKalb County rather than Atlanta, but the same statewide rule allows daily watering of established landscapes between 4 p.m. and 10 a.m.
Should I replace an old deck with a patio?
If the deck sits low and is rotting, a paver or stone patio at grade lasts longer and needs less upkeep. A raised deck may still make sense on a steep lot.
How do I keep water out of my basement?
Pros often extend downspouts underground, regrade beds away from the wall and add a French drain along the uphill side.
What does a French drain cost in Dunwoody?
French drains commonly run $30 to $80 per linear foot depending on depth, length and outlet. General market ranges, not quotes.
