Location & Directions
What to Expect When You Visit
Visiting B-C Excavating’s Lyell Road location, you’ll find neatly stacked piles of seasoned firewood organized by species, with knowledgeable staff who can explain BTU differences between oak’s long burn time versus maple’s easy lighting characteristics.
The team will help load your vehicle or arrange convenient delivery service, and you can inspect the wood’s dryness by checking for cracks in the grain and hearing the sharp crack when pieces are knocked together – signs of properly seasoned firewood ready to burn efficiently.
Products & Materials
B-C Excavating specializes in premium hardwood species including dense oak for overnight burns, hickory for maximum BTU output, sugar maple for consistent heat, and aromatic cherry that adds pleasant fragrance to your fire.
All firewood is available seasoned and split in standard 16-inch lengths, sold by full cord (128 cubic feet) or face cord measurements, with delivery service throughout the Rochester metro area.
Beyond bulk firewood, we stock convenient bundles perfect for camping trips, kindling for easy fire starting, and can provide custom splitting services for customers with specific size requirements for their wood stoves or fireplace inserts.

Serving the Rochester, New York Area
Rochester’s location in Western New York, with abundant hardwood forests and a strong tradition of wood heating, creates an ideal market for quality firewood suppliers, and our proximity to state parks like Mendon Ponds and Genesee Valley means steady demand from both residential and recreational users year-round.
Tips for First-Time Buyers
- Call ahead during peak season (September-November) to ensure your preferred species and quantities are available
- Bring a truck or trailer for pickup orders – a face cord of split hardwood typically requires a full-size pickup bed
- Ask to see the wood’s cut ends, which should show cracks and lighter coloring if properly seasoned
- Order early for winter delivery, as seasoned hardwoods sell quickly once cold weather arrives
- Consider mixing species – oak for overnight burns, maple for daytime fires, and cherry for pleasant aroma
- Stack delivered wood in a dry, ventilated area immediately to maintain seasoning quality
