Establishing Identity at 30+ MPH Buckhead Community of Atlanta, GA

“Entries should be readable to passersby traveling at a minimum of 30 mph. Here color catches the eye and leads it to the community name. The curvature and grade of turf and flower beds invite residents and their guests inside.”

“A well-maintained bed of seasonal foliage and flowering color arouses curiosity about what’s behind the sign. Annual beds should be a minimum of 50 square feet, particularly at entries.”

“Townhome design places a premium on uniformity and detail. Neat, crisp and pretty streetscapes are achieved by attentive turf management and regular pruning of plant materials. Here, the groomed hedges accentuate the formal, traditional architecture of the community and lead the eye up the front staircase to the entry and away from garage doors.”

“Seen from above, the overall health and cleanliness of the community’s landscape reflects the value of our regular care, which includes seasonal mulching as well as blowing and collecting plant debris.”

“The limited greenspace available in townhome communities often discourages developers and Associations from including trees in the landscape. Pruning is essential — correct scale and care can overcome challenges to root structures and bring the valuable cooling effect of trees to the community.”
