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, consider pairing your firewood order with mulch for your garden beds or landscape stone for pathways, both sourced regionally and delivered the same way straight to your Cary property.
Service area
Stack your firewood off the ground on a pallet or rack, and keep it under a simple cover that shields the top while leaving the sides open to airflow. Cary's humidity means fully enclosed tarps trap moisture and invite rot and pests. A stack that breathes on the sides but stays dry on top will hold its seasoned quality through our wetter winter stretches far better than a fully wrapped pile.
Before loading up your fireplace, do a quick check by knocking two pieces together. Seasoned oak and hickory should sound sharp and hollow rather than dull and thudding. If you see sap bubbling from the ends or the wood feels heavy for its size, it likely still has moisture in it and will smoke more than burn, especially on the humid nights common to central North Carolina.
Order your firewood before the first frost hits, typically around October 30 in Cary. Waiting until the first genuinely cold snap means competing with everyone else for delivery slots, and starting your season with a full supply on hand means you are not scrambling for wood on the coldest nights in January or February.
Cary sits in growing zone 7b with a heating season that typically runs from late October through early April, bookended by a first frost around October 30 and a last frost around April 10. That is a long stretch of chilly nights for a Piedmont climate, and Wake County's clay loam soil and humid air mean freshly cut wood takes longer to dry out than folks expect. Green wood left to season in our humidity can still hold moisture months after it looks ready, which leads to smoky, low heat fires. Our seasoned hardwood, sourced locally, is dried down to the point where it lights easily and burns hot even on the damp, gray days common to central North Carolina winters. Local oak, hickory, and ash are the backbone of what burns well here, and buying wood that already made it through a proper seasoning cycle saves Cary homeowners from fighting their fireplace all winter.
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.
