Wonderful experience! They put the mulch exactly where we wanted. This mulch spread very easily and didn’t have the usual “mulch smell.” We will definitely use again!

Most Southfield households burning a few times a week get through winter on one to one and a half cords, while daily burners should plan closer to two cords to cover the full October through May heating season.

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 the yard for winter, check out our mulch and soil options for the same Southfield delivery route to protect garden beds before the ground freezes.
Stack your firewood off the ground on pallets or rails so Southfield's wet spring thaw and clay loam soil do not wick moisture back into the bottom rows. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, and cover only the top of the stack, since fully wrapping it traps humidity during our muggy summer stretch and slows seasoning instead of helping it.
Oak and maple are your best bet for long overnight burns since they hold coals well into the next morning, while ash lights fast and works great for kindling a fire on a frigid January evening. Mixing species in your firebox lets you get a quick catch from ash and then bank the heat with denser oak or maple splits.
Order your wood in late summer or early fall, well before Southfield's first frost around mid October, so it has extra weeks to finish drying in your stack before you actually need it. Waiting until the first cold snap often means burning wood that has not had enough time to season properly for our humid regional climate.
Southfield winters run long, with a frost window stretching from mid October to early May, which means local wood stoves and fireplaces often see six or more months of steady use. Wood that has not been properly seasoned will sizzle and smoke instead of throwing real heat, and it leaves creosote behind in chimneys during our humid Michigan summers when drying slows down. We season our hardwood, mostly oak, maple, and ash sourced near Southfield, until moisture content drops low enough for a clean, hot burn. Michigan clay loam soils and humid summers slow natural drying compared to drier climates, so proper seasoning time matters more here than in arid regions. Buying wood that has already gone through a full seasoning cycle before it reaches your driveway saves you a winter of frustration with damp, hissing logs.
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.
