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 are prepping your property for winter, pair your firewood delivery with mulch or topsoil from our Carbondale regional page to protect garden beds through the same frost window.

Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails so Southern Illinois humidity and winter rain do not wick moisture back into the bottom rows. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, and cover only the top of the stack, keeping the sides open so trapped moisture can escape rather than condensing and undoing the seasoning work already done before delivery.
Oak and hickory from around Carbondale burn slow and hot, making them ideal for overnight coals, while hard maple lights faster and works well for building a quick evening fire. Mixing species in your firebox lets you get a fast start from maple and long lasting heat from the denser oak and hickory once the fire is established.
Order your firewood well before the first frost typically arrives around November 1, since demand climbs fast once temperatures drop and well seasoned wood becomes harder to find. Ordering in late summer or early fall also gives any slightly less dry splits extra weeks to finish drying in your own stack before you need to burn them.
Carbondale sits in growing zone 7a with a heating season that typically stretches from the first frost around November 1 through the last frost near April 8, meaning many households run wood stoves or fireplaces for five months or more. Southern Illinois homes lean on local hardwoods like oak, hickory, and hard maple, species that need six months to a year of proper seasoning before they burn clean. Our region's silt loam ground and humid summers slow down natural drying, so wood that has not been split and seasoned well in advance often smokes, creosote builds up, and heat output drops. Buying wood that has already been seasoned for this exact climate means you are not gambling on a green load during the coldest stretch of a Carbondale winter. Local seasoning also matches the wood to our specific humidity swings rather than conditions from a different part of the state.
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.
