While you are prepping for winter, check out our bulk mulch and topsoil options, which are also sourced with Akron's clay loam soil and zone 6a conditions in mind for spring beds once the frost breaks.
Service area
Stack your firewood off the ground on pallets or a rack, since Akron's clay loam soil holds moisture and can wick dampness back into your logs even after they have been properly seasoned. Leave gaps between rows for airflow and angle your stack so rain and melting snow run off rather than pooling. A simple tarp over the top, left open on the sides, keeps snow off while still letting humidity escape during our long winter stretch.
Oak and hickory take a bit longer to catch but reward you with dense, long lasting coals perfect for overnight burns during Akron's coldest weeks, while hard maple lights faster and works well for building your initial fire. Mixing species lets you start hot with maple kindling and then load oak or hickory once the fire is established for steady heat through the night.
Order your firewood before the October 5 average first frost date rather than waiting for the first cold snap, since demand across the Akron area spikes once temperatures drop and popular cord sizes can be delayed. Ordering early also gives any slightly less dry pieces extra weeks to finish seasoning in your stack before you need them for a hard freeze night.
Akron sits in growing zone 6a with a heating season that typically stretches from the October 5 first frost well into the following spring, meaning local homeowners burn wood for five months or more. Wood that is not properly seasoned struggles to keep up with that stretch because Akron's humid summers and clay loam soil conditions slow down natural drying if logs are left in contact with the ground. Our firewood is seasoned in advance so moisture content drops before it ever reaches your driveway, giving you hotter and cleaner burns from the first cold snap through the last. Local hardwoods like oak, hickory, and hard maple are common in Summit County woodlots and are prized here for their long, steady burn times on frigid nights. Buying wood that has already gone through a proper seasoning cycle means you are not fighting green wood and creosote buildup in the middle of an Akron ice storm.
Expect dense regional hardwoods like oak, hickory, maple, and ash. These species burn longer and hotter than softwoods, which is what you want when a cold snap settles in and the stove runs all day.
Firewood needs 6 to 12 months of drying before it burns well. Properly seasoned wood lights faster, throws more heat, and keeps creosote out of your chimney, which matters most in the coldest weeks of the year.
Firewood that travels long distances spreads invasive pests like the emerald ash borer. Our wood is cut and seasoned close to where it is delivered, which protects local trees and means fresher wood for you.
