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 for winter, check out our mulch and soil options sourced for Mercer's silt loam beds, ideal for insulating perennial roots before that first October frost arrives.
Service area
Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or a rack, with the split ends facing the prevailing wind so air can move through the pile. Mercer's humid summers and damp winters mean ground contact invites rot fast, so a few inches of clearance and a simple top cover, left open on the sides, keeps rain and snow off while still letting moisture escape from the wood itself.
Hickory and oak from around Mercer burn hot and long, making them ideal for overnight coals, while hard maple lights a bit easier and works well for building your initial fire. Try the knock test before burning, two dry pieces struck together should sound like a sharp crack rather than a dull thud, a quick sign your wood is properly seasoned.
Order your firewood in late summer rather than waiting for the first cold snap in October. Wood ordered early has more time to finish drying in your own storage setup before Mercer's heating season kicks in, and it also means you are not competing with a rush of last minute buyers once the frost hits.
Mercer sits at 1,200 feet in growing zone 6a, which means a long heating season that often stretches from mid October frost through early May. That kind of stretch demands firewood that is truly seasoned, not just split and stacked for a few weeks. Our wood comes from local hardwoods like oak, hickory, and hard maple, species that grow dense in this silt loam soil and burn long and hot once properly dried. Green wood in this climate carries too much moisture and creates more creosote, which is a real concern during the coldest stretches of a Mercer winter. We season our wood down to a usable moisture level before it ever reaches your driveway, so it lights easier and burns cleaner from the first cold snap in October to the last frost in May.
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.
