I recently ordered from mulch mound and was thoroughly impressed with every aspect of the experience. The entire process, from placing the order to delivery was seamless and efficient. The mulch arrived exactly on time, and the quality exceeded my expectations. The color was rich and consistent, and I received more than enough to complete my project with proper coverage and packing.
Customer service was equally outstanding. Communication was clear, and the team was responsive and professional throughout. It’s rare to find a company that delivers both a high-quality product and excellent service, but mulch mound did just that.
Highly recommended, and I wouldn’t hesitate to order from them again.

I couldn't be happier with the speed and quality of the mulch delivery service of Mulch Mound. Every detail from ordering, to communication with on time delivery, to perfect product placement was amazing. I needed more and I got it within 2 hours! I'm never doing this with bags again.
While you are prepping your property for winter, consider pairing your firewood order with mulch or soil delivery to protect garden beds through Chapel Hill's clay heavy, wet winter months.
Service area
Stack your wood off the ground on a pallet or rack, and keep it under partial cover but not fully enclosed, since Chapel Hill's humidity means trapped moisture is as much of a problem as rain. Leaving the sides open for airflow while covering just the top keeps seasoned wood dry without letting condensation build up underneath the tarp.
Oak and hickory take longer to catch but burn hot and long once going, so use them for overnight fires, while faster catching maple works well for getting a fire started or for shorter evening burns. Splitting kindling from drier pieces first helps a fire take hold before adding your denser splits.
Order your firewood in early fall before the first frost around November 5, since demand and prices tend to climb once temperatures actually drop. Ordering early also gives freshly seasoned wood extra weeks to fully dry out in your storage rack before you need it for steady winter burning.
Chapel Hill winters run from roughly early November to late March, and while zone 8a keeps us milder than the mountains, damp Piedmont air and red clay soil moisture mean unseasoned wood struggles to dry once it hits your rack. Local hardwoods like oak, hickory, and red maple hold water in their cell structure for a year or more if cut green, and burning that wood produces excess smoke, creosote buildup, and poor heat output on cold nights. Our wood is seasoned well ahead of delivery, so it is already down to a safe moisture range for your fireplace or wood stove. With roughly five months of intermittent heating season, having dry, ready to burn wood on hand from the first frost through late March matters for both efficiency and chimney safety. The humidity here means stacked wood needs airflow, not just time, to stay seasoned once it arrives.
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.
