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!

Service area
Stack your firewood off the ground on a pallet or rack so Plainfield's freeze thaw cycles and spring snowmelt do not wick moisture back into the bottom rows. Leave the top loosely covered but the sides open for airflow, since fully wrapping a stack in plastic traps humidity and slows drying. A stack against a south or west facing wall gets extra sun exposure during the shorter winter days.
Test moisture before loading your stove by knocking two split pieces together. Well seasoned oak or hickory from our local supply gives a sharp crack, while damp wood sounds dull and thuds. Starting fires with smaller ash splits catches quickly and helps bring denser oak up to a hot coal bed faster, which matters on the coldest Plainfield nights when you want heat fast.
Order before the first frost hits around October 9, since demand for seasoned hardwood spikes hard once temperatures drop and supply can tighten fast. Buying in September or early October also gives freshly delivered wood extra weeks to finish drying in your own stack before you need it for a serious cold snap.
Plainfield sits in growing zone 5b, which means a heating season that often stretches from mid October through late April, well over six months of possible burn nights. That long stretch demands wood that is truly dry, not just cut and split. Our stock is seasoned hardwood sourced near Plainfield, mostly oak, hickory, and ash, species common to Will County woodlots. Illinois humidity during summer curing can slow drying compared to arid climates, so we give our wood adequate time under cover before it reaches your driveway. Burning properly seasoned wood in a Plainfield winter means fewer creosote problems in the chimney and more heat per load when the wind chill drops hard. Green or half dried wood simply cannot keep up with a Plainfield cold snap.
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.
