Joan Piccalo - My Work - Private Residential - Voelker Residence
VOELKER RESIDENCE | Atlanta, GA


This wooded property suffered from drainage problems and soil erosion. New stormwater management and planting scheme resolved those challenges, while new stone accents and retaining walls revitalized the front yard. A new stepping stone path with adjacent swale and rain garden redirected the water for maximum infiltration, reducing the quantity and improving the quality of runoff. A stacked stone seatwall was placed on center with the front door as part of a new entrance feature, and two more retaining walls were built from decorative concrete modular block.
