Wonderful experience! They put the mulch exactly where we wanted. This mulch spread very easily and didn’t have the usual “mulch smell.” We will definitely use again!

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!
Great service. We ordered topsoil from Mulch Mound and the best experience. Thank you so much!
While you're prepping the yard for winter, pair your firewood order with mulch or soil from our Apex regional page to protect garden beds through the same frost window your firewood is meant to outlast.

Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails since Apex's red clay holds water and can wick moisture up into a bottom row sitting directly on soil. Leave gaps between rows for airflow and cover only the top of the stack, keeping the sides open so humidity from our Piedmont summers and falls doesn't get trapped and slow the wood from staying properly dried through winter.
Oak and hickory both take longer to catch than softer woods, so start fires with smaller split pieces or kindling before adding larger oak rounds. Hickory in particular burns hot and long, making it a good choice for overnight fires on the coldest nights between December and February when you want coals still glowing by morning.
Order your firewood well before the first frost, which typically lands around November 15 in Apex, since demand climbs fast once temperatures drop and well seasoned wood can sell out early. Ordering in September or October also gives you time to get everything stacked and settled before the season's first genuinely cold nights arrive.
Apex sits in growing zone 8a with a heating season that stretches from the first frost around November 15 to the last frost near March 20, which means many homes here run their fireplace or wood stove for four months or more. Piedmont red clay soils support a mix of oak, hickory, and red maple, all of which are local species that burn hot and steady once properly dried. Our wood is seasoned for months before delivery so moisture content drops low enough to light easily and burn clean, which matters in central North Carolina where summer humidity can slow natural drying if wood is left unprotected. Green or under seasoned wood in this climate tends to smolder, throw off less heat, and build up creosote faster. Buying seasoned hardwood cut and dried for our conditions means fewer cold nights spent fighting a stubborn fire.
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.
