Placing an order online was so easy. Delivery was on time. When the driver realized we had a newly poured driveway they erred on the side of caution and opted not ti drive in it. The company even sent me a message explaining that call. Would recommend!

Most Alexandria homes burning a few times a week get through the season on a half cord to a full cord, while daily wood stove users should plan for a full cord to stay ahead of the short but persistent cold snaps.

One of the easiest customer service experiences I've had in a long time! Mulch Mound made it so simple. After putting it off for a while, I looked at the weather and knew I needed to get to mulching ASAP before the rain came if I didn't want to wait another week. I put my order in for the next day online and they came right at 9 AM. The employee who dropped off the mulch did a great job, putting it right on the tarp I laid out, she even made sure none of it got on the yard and double checked the truck bed to make sure it all came out. The mulch was exactly what I needed and arrived right on time.
While you are prepping for winter, pair your firewood order with mulch or soil from our Alexandria regional page to protect garden beds through the same damp winter months.

Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails so Alexandria's damp soil and frequent rain do not wick moisture back into your seasoned logs. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, and cover only the top of the stack with a tarp, keeping the sides open so humidity can escape instead of collecting under a fully wrapped cover, which actually encourages mold in our climate.
Local red oak and hickory both throw excellent coals but take a bit longer to catch than lighter woods, so start your fire with smaller kindling pieces and let the coal bed build before adding a full split log. A simple moisture meter reading under 20 percent tells you the wood is ready, and anything higher will hiss and smoke rather than burn clean.
Order your firewood in early fall before the first frost hits around November 12, since seasoned wood supply tightens once temperatures drop and everyone in central Louisiana starts calling at once. Buying ahead also gives any slightly under seasoned splits extra weeks to dry out further in your stack before you actually need them.
Alexandria winters are short but damp, with the first frost usually landing around November 12 and the last frost lingering into early March, so most households only need real heat for a handful of cold snaps between those dates. Because our Zone 8b climate carries heavy Gulf humidity even in winter, green or half seasoned wood struggles to burn clean here and tends to smolder, smoke up the chimney, and waste heat. Local hardwoods like red oak, water oak, and hickory need a long, dry seasoning period to fight off that ambient moisture before they are truly ready for the firebox. We season our wood specifically for this climate so it lights fast and burns hot even on the humid nights that are typical of central Louisiana. With a heating season this short, having properly dried wood on hand means you get real warmth out of every load instead of fighting smoke and creosote buildup. That matters for chimney safety in older Alexandria homes with brick flues that were not built for smoldering, wet fuel.
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.
