MARK PLOW'S FIREWOOD & MULCH

We've used Mark for firewood for many years. Prompt/courteous delivery, fulfills order, fair price. And it's good wood -- all cut to proper/consistent length, and burns well -- not like fire-resistant load we had from another vendor some time ago. Negative reviews/ratings are puzzling -- sounds like a different company!. Better number to use than what's listed here: 703-565-3435

I have used Mark for firewood for the last five years.  Great guy, really pleasant.  Shorts me on the firewood every year.  Each year, I plead with him to give me an honest measure. Each year, when I stack the wood, it is always less than the full cordage that I ordered.  Mark is perfectly pleasant and brings out more wood to make me whole but it is a total pain to have to call him again and again each year to get him to bring out the right amount.  This year, no answer on his phone.  Evenings and weekends it rings 8 times, goes to voicemail and then the voicemail is full.  During the day it rings once and goes straight to the full voicemail box.  Hard to order firewood even if I wanted to.

Mark has always had high quality firewood, but I found it very unprofessional to stand up a long-standing customer like myself 5 times.

Some trees could be used for lumber, others great for firewood. Since Mark has a lumber mill and sells firewood all around the price was lower than someone who just cuts trees. Mark conducts business as if he were still in the outback - his word pretty much binds.  I wanted a contract, so he produced one but it seemed coincidental to him. He did an excellent job, trees fell where they were supposed to, stumps cut close to the ground, no brush left. No chip grinding and chips left behind since he uses the wood. All the others would have left mounds of chips. All went smoothly. Mark is a hard working guy. His main tree guy had a wonderful mix of knowledge, practicality and skill combined with an ability to clearly explain.
