Local Know-How
Due West is an unincorporated community in west Cobb County near the Kennesaw and Acworth line, quieter and more residential than the towns closer to Marietta, with established homes and newer construction along Due West Road. Its history runs through the Civil War: a 1952 Georgia Historical Commission marker on Kennesaw Due West Road stands at Gilgal Church, a log church that was a landmark during the fighting of June 5 to 17, 1864, and was later rebuilt nearby. According to the marker, Federal trench lines from that June 1864 fighting still survive on the battlefield near the church.


Local Conditions
Due West lies west of Kennesaw Mountain, on wooded ground the two armies fought over in 1864, and many lots here keep a band of mature pines and hardwoods at the back, with newer houses built closer to them than the trees would like. Graded clay around those houses keeps roots in the top foot or so of soil, as UGA Extension describes for Georgia clay, and a Due West pine that lost roots on one side during construction is a common call years later, often after its crown starts thinning from the top.
Common Due West jobs include a tall pine at the edge of the woods behind the house, a dead hardwood over the back fence, storm debris spread across a large backyard, and clearing a wooded corner for a shed or play area. Bigger lots usually mean easier equipment access, though slopes toward creeks can still call for rigging. Because Due West lots tend to run larger, the brush can often be chipped and left as mulch along the woods line if you’d rather keep it.
Permits & Rules
Due West is unincorporated, so Cobb County’s code applies. The county’s tree article, Chapter 50, Article VI, is tied to land disturbance permits rather than single-tree removals, so taking a tree out of an existing Due West yard generally needs no permit unless the tree sits in a stream buffer or floodplain or is protected by a zoning condition or plat. Larger clearing that needs a land disturbance permit falls under the article.
Many Due West lots back onto mature pines and hardwoods, so drop zones are planned to keep each section out of the woods and off the fence.
A Due West estimate gets the same in-person walk-around and written price as a job a mile from the Marietta Square.
