What to Know Before Your Firewood Delivery Arrives

Picture the first truly cold evening of winter, with the fireplace ready and the woodpile running low. A fresh stack of seasoned hardwood is on its way, but it needs a good place to land. A little planning now turns delivery day into a smooth, mud-free job. DW Lawn and Landscaping LLC and its sister company, Englewood Firewood Co., sell seasoned hardwood for homes in the area. With firewood delivery available from December through February, October is a smart time to get ready.

Choose a Firm Drop Zone Ahead of Time

Soft ground can leave ruts or let a truck sink, especially after heavy rain. Clear cars, trash bins, toys, and loose items from the approach before delivery day. That gives the driver room to unload without cutting through flowerbeds. A solid spot makes the whole process easier.

• Firm ground: A solid driveway, gravel pad, or packed surface keeps the truck on stable footing.
• Open access: Gates, turns, and driveway entrances need room for the truck to pass comfortably.
• Close placement: Choose a spot near your wood rack so you carry logs a shorter distance.

Point Out Hazards Along the Route

Low branches, landscape lights, and decorative posts are easy to miss from a truck cab. Mention anything near the drive when you schedule. Every property has its quirks, so a quick heads-up helps the driver plan around them. These simple habits make delivery day safer for everyone.

• Clear the route: Open a direct path from the street to the unloading area.
• Note low obstacles: Mention branches, wires, basketball hoops, or décor near the path.
• Keep pets inside: Dogs and cats stay safer when the unloading area is quiet.

Keep Seasonal Yard Work Out of the Way

Bagged leaves stacked along the driveway can turn a simple unload into a tight squeeze. Once leaf cleanup wraps up, haul the bags away from the drive. Move patio furniture and seasonal decorations too. If a side yard stays soft after rain, pick a firmer spot to protect the turf.
