Progress Made to Lullwater Roundabout
February 24, 2010
Source: Community Partnership Update/March 2010
Since last fall, the appearance of the Lullwater Roundabout -- the gateway to Emory Village -- has received a much needed face-lift because local landscape company, In Bloom, adopted the maintenance and development of the roundabout.
The roundabout enhancements are being funded by DeKalb County, who are working closely with the neighborhood and have established a plan to alleviate the large vehicle drive through problem. Last month, In Bloom installed:
• A three-foot strip around the periphery of the roundabout of stone pavers which have been planted with liriope, making the pavers invisible. In Bloom opted to use pervious pavers in lieu of concrete to decrease the impervious area and increase green space;
• Internal boulders to discourage vehicular traffic;
• New perennials and annuals to provide additional color; and
• Existing plant material in the area of the stone pavers was transplanted.
The Druid Hills Civic Association has committed $500 annually for seasonal color and In Bloom is planning two seasonal color plantings in the future. There are also plans to install battery powered irrigation to the center island this spring.
