Why We Love Delivering Firewood to Chicago
Chicago may be a big city, but it’s still a great place to live for rugged outdoor enthusiasts who appreciate top-quality firewood. The city boasts many beautiful trees, including the European Buckthorn, Green Ash and Black Cherry. We especially appreciate the region’s cherry and oak trees because they’re great for firewood.
The city also features no shortage of opportunities for enjoying Chicago firewood. You’ll have a great time roasting marshmallows over our kiln-dried wood at nearby Camp Ground Road Woods or Camp Bullfrog Lake. We also supply kiln-dried cooking wood to some of the Chicago area’s finest wood-fired restaurants.
How Lumberjacks Serves Chicago, IL
We had only one location when we started our business in 1993. From Woodstock, IL, we did our best to reach as many customers across Chicagoland as possible. Word spread to people who didn’t know where to buy Chicago firewood, and they’ve enjoyed our products for three decades.
The 60-mile trek from Woodstock to Chicago takes a bit more than an hour. The grand opening of our second location in Lake in the Hills, IL, shaved a couple miles off the commute and gave us another place from which to process firewood and mulch deliveries. For many of our Chicago customers, same-day shipping might be in the cards.
We hope that our product makes you appreciate the outdoors as much as we do. We know we offer the best Chicago firewood and mulch, so don’t settle!
Chicago Firewood Delivery
Most wood on Earth is terrible for kindling because fresh or natural wood is too moist. To combat this, most companies who sell firewood in-bulk resort to seasoning, a drying process that can take months. Seasoning is little more than leaving wood in a dry, well-ventilated area, but a lot of moisture may persist after a couple months of seasoning, which is why using a kiln is more effective.
Our kiln-dried hardwood is the best firewood to burn because it’s the driest and the densest. Its moisture levels rest below 20%, while seasoning virtually never achieves this level of dryness. Also, we sell some of the densest hardwood species available, including oak and hickory.
For only two days, our kilns remove moisture, mold and insects from our hardwood logs, after which each log can be part of a crackling fire.
Chicago Mulch Delivery
Chicago, IL, and its citizens show a great commitment to local parks, but landscaping efforts can go to waste without killer mulch. Cheap bags of mulch from the depths of the hardware store contain potent chemicals that can kill plants and sterilize soil. The cheap stuff doesn’t even look good.
Meanwhile, our mulch is available in different colors and textures. Also, because it’s made of hardwood exclusively, it nourishes the soil, keeps weeds from popping up and beautifies gardens of all kinds.
How to Get Your Chicago Firewood and Mulch
If you want Chicago firewood or mulch for your home or business, we streamline the process for you. Follow these steps to have us deliver premium firewood or mulch to your doorstep.
Step 1: Pick Your Premium Wood
Whatever your needs are, we likely have a great option. For Chicago’s homeowners, we suggest our hardwood blend of cherry, oak, birch and hickory. These woods prioritize heat and provide the longest burns. For restaurant owners, we suggest our cooking wood blend to bring the smoky notes of fruitwood to your dishes.
If you’re looking for mulch instead, choose among premium bark, premium hardwood, red-colored (a hint of red) and chocolate. If you’re not sure which mulch to buy, call us, and one of our representatives would be happy to offer suggestions.
Step 2: Specify How Much You Want
Our firewood and mulch order sizes accommodate most customers. The firewood order options include ¼ face cord (4’x2’), ½ face cord (4’x4’) and 1 face cord (4’x8’). As for mulch, you can order by the cubic yard.
Step 3: Choose Pickup or Delivery
We make it simple to get your Chicago firewood or mulch with convenient delivery to your location. Delivery orders to Chicago typically take between 1-3 days to arrive, and you will receive an ETA when you call. Your wood will arrive on time and in the location where you requested it.
