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!

Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails so air can circulate underneath, since Wilmington's humid summers and wet winters will keep bottom rows damp otherwise. Cover just the top of the stack with a tarp, leaving the sides open to airflow. A stack in full sun with a slight gap from your house wall will season and stay drier through our long, damp mid Atlantic winters than wood shoved into a shaded corner.
Test a split before burning by knocking two pieces together. Well seasoned oak or hickory gives a sharp, hollow crack, while green wood sounds dull and thudding. You can also check cut ends for radial cracking, a sign moisture has dropped enough for a clean burn. This matters especially with oak, which needs the longest seasoning time of our local species before it performs well in a stove.
Order your firewood in late summer or early fall, well before Wilmington's October 25 average first frost, so it has time to finish drying in your stacked pile before you need it. Waiting until the first cold snap means you'll be burning wood that's still adjusting to outdoor storage, and supply can tighten once everyone else starts thinking about heating season at the same time.
Wilmington winters run from that late October first frost around October 25 through early April, giving households a genuine five month stretch where a wood stove or fireplace gets real use. Our region's mix of oak, hickory, and ash needs a full six to twelve months of seasoning before it burns clean, and the Brandywine Valley's humidity can slow that process if wood isn't stored right. Green or under seasoned wood sold in a hurry will hiss, smoke, and coat your chimney with creosote instead of throwing real heat. Because we source from woodlots near Wilmington, our splits have already had time to dry down to a proper burn ready moisture level before they reach your driveway. That matters more here than in drier climates, since our humid mid Atlantic air keeps stacked wood damp longer if it isn't seasoned in advance.
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.
