We offer quality firewood and mulch products and take pride in our superior customer service. If you are not satisfied with you firewood delivery, all firewood can be returned to Best Firewood and Mulch in Aurora, for a full refund. Due to the nature of the product Best Firewood and Mulch will have additional fees for picking up any firewood from a residential home that would like to be returned.

If ordering your firewood during wet seasons, once your deliver arrives you will need to keep a 2 day supply inside next to your hearth, in a hearth wood ring to dry any seasonal moisture from any snow and ice on the firewood. All Firewood is Seasoned! To avoid the elements it is best to order your firewood from August thru October!We specialize in delivering high quality, well seasoned hardwoods including ash, elm, maple, walnut, oak, cherry, hickory and birch. These types of wood provide maximum heat and minimum amount of residue. All of the wood used for our firewood and mulch is purchased locally and is cut and split and stored on-site. Our hardwood mulch is produced on-site from only solid hardwood logs…NO REMOVAL OR WASTE PRODUCTS ARE USED.

Description of Work: Provided mulch. Prompt, friendly. I'm not convinced the quality is there. Mulch broke down in a matter of a month and a half. There was too much debris as well (given the price).

Company was suggested to me from a friend who had work provided by them earlier in the year. Two other 'Angies List' tree service companies bid on this same job to which Best Tree Care came in the lowest (Angie's list companies came in 1.2 to 4.0 times higher then Best Tree Care!). Between the price and prior recommendation I scheduled my job with Best. Scheduled date was made but Best Tree Care was able to do the job sooner due to an opening. No boom truck was needed. All 'high' cut work handled and carefully planned out by one man with two on the ground. Majority of 'waste' handled by large chipper truck supplied and larger tree bases hauled away. No stump grinding was requested and Best managed to cut bases very low to ground which was appreciated. All work completed within 3-4 hours after arrival which included pickup and raking of lawn of residual materials by Best.
Description of Work: Removal of five (5) boxelder trees overhanging roof line and back yard plus pruning of one tree limb hanging over from neighbors property.

Delivery was prompt & cost was quoted up front. Price was comparable to other companies for a hard wood mix. This was one of the only companies in Dec. to actually have wood left. Wood delivered was wet as it was stored outside so it takes 1 day to dry out inside prior to use.

The wood was wet when received, which meant that it would not burn well (smoke a lot and make a hissing sound). I called them, and they offered to pick up all the wood and give a full return if we were displeased -- but they emphasized that they season their wood outside, so some wetness is to be expected (it had rained most of the prior week). We brought the wood in and gave it a few hours to dry, and it was fine, so we did not have them come back. Over the course of the winter, we had no problem with the wood.
Description of Work: We ordered a half-cord of wood to be delivered the week of Thanksgiving 2007. The wood was stacked in the back of our house for us (which was part of the service we purchased).

They delivered timely, but the wood was extremely wet. I called and they offered to take it all back, but did advise that, because the wood was seasoned outside, some wetness was inevitable. It took at least one full day (even a month later) for the wood to dry out indoors before it was usable.

Called an got a delivery set up for the next day. They came on time, were friendly, stacked the wood and gave me a receipt. The next day, the wood pile fell over. I called and asked if they would either re-stack it or refund the extra $20 I paid to have it stacked. I was told that it must be my fault that it fell because they stack wood all the time and that I would neither be receiving a refund or having it re-stacked. So, I re-stacked it myself and it has been fine. Anyway, the wood seems good. So, I would recommend the company for delivery, but don't pay extra for stacking.

The service was good. I was contacted the day before delivery and informed at what time to expect the delivery. They arrived within the specified time and were quick and efficient. The wood seems good and the stacking also looks good.

This is the third year I have ordered from these folks. They have a good product (high-quality wood) and are prompt. I did notice the wood appears a little shorter than last year. Since the price did not go up I just count the missing inch as mark-up.
