Small Business Q&A: Chattahoochee Home & Garden

This experienced East Cobb landscape design firm provides services to homeowners wanting to cultivate remarkable yards.

Outdoor work is first nature to Chattahoochee Home and Garden owner/operator Hardy J. Kaplan. At an early age, he greened his thumbs and earned allowance by heading petunias for his horticulturalist mother. His first ‘real’ job was at the landscape company that he now owns. The design, consult and installation firm is located in an industrial park off of Shallowford Road, near Sandy Plains Road. Kaplan believes that service and good work are what grow a business. Current economic drought has operations trimmed to one part-time office assistant and one installation crew. Kaplan goes on all the appointments and is hands-on when it’s time to plant a space that he’s designed. “When people call Chattahoochee, they’re calling for me,” Kaplan …

Million-Dollar Homes Get Zoning Nod

East Cobb's lucrative real estate market is getting another subdivision at the very high end of the price scale.

A zoning decision by the Cobb Board of Commissioners this week should leave little doubt about the very strong health of the East Cobb real estate market. By a 4-0 vote on Tuesday (with chairman Tim Lee absent) the commissioners approved a request by Brooks Chadwick Capital, LLC, to rezone 6.6 acres on Woodlawn Road, just south of Lower Roswell Road, for 21 homes that will cost an average of $1 million. Each home will contain between 4,000 and 6,000 square feet of space. The development will be located in the heart of the Walton High School district, and a short walk from Dickerson Middle School. As The Marietta Daily Journal reported when the request was before the Cobb Planning Commission earlier this month, East Cobb's public schools …
