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!

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're prepping your property for winter, check out our mulch and soil options sized for Cookeville's silt loam yards, ideal for insulating beds before the ground freezes.
Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails with the bark side up, and leave the top loosely covered rather than fully wrapped in tarp. Cookeville's humidity means fully sealed stacks trap moisture and slow seasoning, so airflow on at least three sides keeps your hardwood drying properly and ready to burn hot when the first real cold front rolls through in late October.
Oak and hickory from our area take a little longer to catch than softer woods, so start your fire with smaller kindling pieces and let the coal bed build before adding a full split. A quick moisture check, tapping two pieces together for a sharp crack rather than a dull thud, tells you if that log is ready or needs more time on the rack.
Order your firewood in late summer or early fall, well before the October 20 frost date, so your wood has extra weeks to finish seasoning in Cookeville's humid air before you actually need it. Waiting until the first cold snap often means burning wood that's still holding more moisture than you'd like on a night in the teens.
Cookeville sits at 1,100 feet in growing zone 7a, with a heating season that stretches from that first frost around October 20 through the last frost near April 15, meaning many homes run a stove or insert for close to six months. Our region's humidity means green wood cut locally can hold onto moisture far longer than folks expect, so a log that looks dry on the outside can still hiss and smoke on the inside. We season our hardwood, mostly oak and hickory with some ash and maple mixed in from Upper Cumberland woodlots, for months before it reaches your driveway so it burns hotter and cleaner through the cold snaps. Silt loam soils here grow dense, slow burning hardwoods that put out strong heat once properly dried. Buying wood that has actually been seasoned for our climate, not just cut and split, matters more in a long Cookeville winter than almost any other factor.
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.
