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!

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 cooler weather, pair your firewood order with mulch or soil from our Rainbow City materials page to protect garden beds through the winter months.

Stack your firewood off the ground on pallets or rails so our red clay soil and humid air don't wick moisture back into the wood. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, cover only the top with a tarp, and keep the sides open so trapped humidity can escape instead of causing mold or slow rot over the season.
Test moisture by splitting a piece and pressing a moisture meter to the freshly exposed face rather than the bark. Well seasoned oak or hickory should read under 20 percent. If it hisses, smokes heavily, or is hard to light, it likely needs more time drying before it burns clean in your stove or fireplace.
Order your firewood well before the first frost in early November, since seasoned wood takes months to reach burnable dryness and last minute orders closer to cold snaps often mean settling for wetter, greener wood. Buying ahead also gives you time to stack and organize before the coldest stretch of the Rainbow City winter arrives.
Rainbow City winters run from roughly the first frost in early November through the last frost around April 1, which adds up to a heating season longer than many folks expect for east central Alabama. Our red clay soils and humid air mean that wood cut and split just weeks ago is still holding too much moisture to burn clean, so seasoning for six months to a year matters more here than in drier climates. Local hardwoods like oak, hickory, and pecan are common around Rainbow City and each brings different heat output and burn time to your fireplace or wood stove. Properly seasoned wood lights easier, burns hotter, and produces far less creosote buildup in your chimney than green wood cut in the same season. Given our humidity, even seasoned wood needs to stay covered and off the ground to avoid reabsorbing moisture between deliveries and burn nights.
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.
