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 offerings suited to Paterson's glacial till loam, which can help protect garden beds before the ground freezes.
Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails and keep it under a simple cover that shields the top while leaving the sides open to airflow. Paterson's humid summers and wet springs mean wood stacked directly on soil or wrapped in tarps on all sides can reabsorb moisture and start to mold, undoing months of seasoning before you even get a chance to burn it.
Before loading your stove, check a split log's end grain for a checked, cracked appearance and give two pieces a knock together, seasoned oak and maple should sound like a sharp clack rather than a dull thud. A moisture meter reading under 20 percent confirms it is ready, and starting fires with well seasoned local hardwood produces far less creosote buildup over Paterson's long heating season.
Order your firewood in late summer or early fall, well before Paterson's first frost around November 5, since demand and delivery windows tighten once the weather turns cold. Ordering early also gives you time to fully dry and organize your stack before you need it, rather than scrambling for wood during the first real cold snap of the season.
Paterson sits in growing zone 7b with a heating season that stretches from the first frost around November 5 through the last frost near April 7, which means many households are feeding a stove or fireplace for five months or more. Glacial till loam and the region's humid air mean freshly cut wood holds moisture longer than in drier climates, so proper seasoning is not optional here, it is the difference between a clean burn and a smoky, creosote heavy chimney. Local hardwoods like oak, hard maple, and ash season well over a full spring and summer, giving them time to drop below the 20 percent moisture threshold that makes wood ready to burn. Because Paterson's older housing stock often relies on wood heat as a supplement during cold snaps, having dry, split, ready to burn logs on hand before that first November frost really matters. Buying wood that has already been properly seasoned locally saves homeowners from scrambling for dry fuel mid 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.
