Keeping the streets of Stone Mountain safe and navigable is a top priority for our Public Works team. Our roadway and traffic sign maintenance service encompasses the ongoing inspection, repair, and improvement of all city-managed streets, sidewalks, and the vital signage that guides drivers and pedestrians. We understand that potholes, faded street markings, and damaged signs are more than just inconveniences; they are potential safety hazards for you and your family.

This service is for every resident, business owner, and visitor who relies on Stone Mountain's transportation network. Our process begins with proactive patrols and citizen reports via platforms like SeeClickFix. When an issue is identified, our skilled crews are dispatched to assess and address it promptly. For potholes, we employ durable, weather-resistant patching materials. For signage, we ensure all stop signs, speed limit signs, and street name plaques are clearly visible, properly mounted, and compliant with state regulations.

Effective stormwater management is crucial for preventing flooding, protecting property, and preserving local waterways in Stone Mountain. Our Stormwater Drainage System Management service involves the comprehensive care of the city's network of catch basins, pipes, ditches, and retention ponds. We work to ensure that rainwater is efficiently channeled away from homes, streets, and public spaces, mitigating the risk of water damage and erosion during heavy storms.

This service is essential for homeowners concerned about basement flooding, businesses protecting their assets, and anyone who values the environmental health of our community. Our process includes regular scheduled cleanings of inlets and pipes to remove leaves, sediment, and debris that cause blockages. We also conduct inspections after major weather events and respond to resident reports of standing water or drainage problems. For larger projects, we plan and execute capital improvements to upgrade aging infrastructure.

The Stone Mountain Public Works Department is your best choice for this complex task because we combine local expertise with a proactive approach. We map and understand the entire watershed within our jurisdiction, allowing us to identify problem areas before they cause significant issues. Our team is trained in the latest best practices for erosion control and water quality protection. By maintaining our drainage systems, we not only safeguard your property but also contribute to cleaner streams and a healthier environment for all residents of Stone Mountain and DeKalb County.

Our parks and public spaces are the heart of community life in Stone Mountain. The Park Maintenance & Public Space Beautification service is dedicated to ensuring these areas are clean, safe, inviting, and vibrant for everyone to enjoy. This encompasses the care of grassy fields, playground equipment, walking paths, benches, picnic areas, and the overall landscaping of city-owned properties, including the historic Stone Mountain City Cemetery.

This service benefits families seeking recreation, individuals enjoying a peaceful walk, and community groups hosting events. It also preserves the solemn dignity of our cemetery grounds. Our daily process involves litter collection, mowing, trimming, and inspection of playgrounds for safety. We perform seasonal planting, mulch beds, and repair fixtures like benches and fences. For the cemetery, we handle groundskeeping and coordinate interment requests with respect and precision.

A clean city is a proud city. Our Litter Control & Solid Waste Coordination service is a dedicated effort to combat illegal dumping, remove litter from public rights-of-way, and manage the city's role in broader waste management initiatives. We tackle everything from scattered trash along roadsides to larger, illegally dumped items, working to maintain the scenic beauty and environmental health of Stone Mountain.

This service is for every resident who values a tidy neighborhood and a healthy ecosystem. It also supports local businesses by ensuring commercial areas are presentable. Our process includes scheduled patrols and sweeps of major corridors, rapid response to reports of illegal dumping (which we strongly encourage via our hotline), and coordination of community clean-up events. We work to educate the public on proper waste disposal and partner with county services for large-item pick-up.

The Stone Mountain Public Works Department is uniquely positioned to lead this effort. Our local presence allows for swift action, and our authority enables us to address violations effectively. We don't just clean up; we investigate dumping sources to prevent recurrence. Choosing us means supporting a proactive, zero-tolerance approach to litter.
