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!
If you are prepping your yard for winter, pair your firewood order with bulk mulch or soil from our Naperville area page to protect garden beds through our frost window before the ground freezes.
Service area
Stack your firewood off the ground on a pallet or rack with the bark side up, and leave it uncovered on the sides while covering only the top, since Naperville's humid summers and snowy winters both call for airflow to prevent mold and rot. Locate the pile where it gets sun and wind exposure rather than tucked against a shaded fence line, which slows drying considerably.
Oak and hickory from our area burn hot and slow, making them ideal for overnight coals, while ash lights faster and works well for building a quick fire. Test moisture by knocking two pieces together, seasoned wood makes a sharp crack while green wood sounds dull and heavy, a quick check before you build any fire.
Order your firewood in late summer or early September, well ahead of Naperville's typical October 1 first frost, so it has time to finish drying in your stack and you are not scrambling once temperatures drop. Early buyers also tend to get their preferred cord size before local supply tightens heading into the cold season.
Naperville sits in Zone 5b with a heating season that typically runs from the first frost around October 1 through the last frost near May 15, meaning many local homeowners rely on a fireplace or wood stove for six months or more. Seasoned hardwood matters here because our humid Illinois summers, while good for drying wood outdoors, mean freshly cut or green wood needs a full six to twelve months to reach a safe burn moisture before winter. Green wood in a Naperville fireplace produces excess creosote and smoke, which is a real concern given how many local homes have older masonry chimneys. Our silt loam soil supports strong growth of oak, hickory, and ash, all of which season into dense, long burning firewood when given time. Buying wood that has already been properly seasoned near Naperville means you are ready to burn the moment that first cold snap hits in early October, not months later.
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.
