A New City Covering Old Communities
Voters approved a charter for the City of South Fulton on November 8, 2016, with 59 percent voting yes, and the city officially began on May 1, 2017. It covers about 86 square miles and takes in long standing communities such as Red Oak, Sandtown, Cliftondale, Welcome All, Ben Hill and part of Campbellton.
The city names Roosevelt Highway and Old National Highway as business districts, and it runs the Wolf Creek Amphitheater, a 5,420 seat venue on a 435 acre wooded site, along with the Southwest Arts Center. For a homeowner, the practical point is simple: questions about building on a South Fulton lot go to the city's permitting staff.
What the City Says About Permits
The City of South Fulton's Building Permits page lists residential permits for new construction, demolitions, alterations, additions, renovations, sheds, fences and retaining walls. Land disturbance and plats appear as their own permit categories on the same page. Anyone planning a retaining wall, or grading that opens up a large area of ground, has a clear reason to check with the city first.
We found no South Fulton page that speaks to driveways, patios or other flatwork by name, and no published height threshold for retaining walls. Permit requirements are set by the city or county, so ask about permits for your project when you call and confirm the details with the city's permitting staff.
Piedmont Clay and Sloped Ground
Atlanta lies in Georgia's Piedmont, which the New Georgia Encyclopedia describes as low hills and narrow valleys where bedrock is frequently covered by saprolite, the red clay of Georgia. The USDA soil survey describes the Cecil series, a Georgia Piedmont soil, as having a red clay subsoil and sitting on ridges and side slopes that range from flat to 25 percent.
We found no source naming the soil series on a particular South Fulton street, so we do not guess. On a sloped lot, a retaining wall can hold back the grade, and a basement can turn a drop in the yard into usable space.
Homeowner Projects in South Fulton
Census Bureau QuickFacts puts the owner occupied housing rate in South Fulton at 71.5 percent for 2020 through 2024. JJC Concrete wants more residential work, and the list starts with concrete driveways, including tear out and haul off of the old slab.
Behind the house, a patio gives a flat poured surface for seating or a grill. Out front, sidewalks and walkways connect the driveway to the door, and steps and stoops finish the entry. Garage floors, other slabs and removal and replacement of broken concrete round out the residential work.

Driveways, patios, slabs, walks and steps across Marietta and metro Atlanta. Monday to Friday, 8 AM to 6 PM.
When Old Concrete Needs to Come Out
A driveway that has cracked through, sunk at one corner or broken up at the street edge may be past patching. Removal and replacement covers breaking up the old slab, hauling it away, preparing the base and pouring new concrete in its place.
The same approach works for a front walk that has heaved, a set of entry steps that has pulled away from the house, or a patio that holds water. Several worn pieces around one South Fulton home can be grouped into a single job.
A Growing City With New Homes
QuickFacts lists a base population of 108,078 for South Fulton in April 2020 and an estimate of 112,820 for July 2025, a rise of 4.4 percent. New houses bring footings, foundations and basements, and they bring new driveways and walks once the house is framed.
For builders and general contractors, JJC Concrete pours basement walls, foundation walls, crawl space foundations, footings and subwalls. The walls go up in aluminum forms, which give a smooth finish, and past work includes walls as tall as 24 feet. Retaining walls are on the builder list as well.
