A Central Mass family operation — run by the people who actually load the trucks.
The Zagwyn family has deep roots in central Massachusetts — Shirley, Marlborough, Southborough, Sterling, and the surrounding area. Firewood is one part of what Zagwyn Contracting does, and it's the one most of our neighbors know us for.
Alex and David run the day-to-day. They answer the phone, quote the orders, load the trucks, and drive the deliveries. When you call, you're talking directly to the people handling your order.
How We Process Your Wood
Here's the equipment behind every cord we deliver and why it matters for the wood you get.
Skid Steers
Our skid steers handle every load that moves through the yard. They keep the raw logs organized, feed the processor without downtime, and load the delivery trucks cleanly. Just as important: they keep wood off the ground and out of the mud, which is a big part of why our splits show up clean.
Firewood Processor
Our processor cross-cuts and splits every log to a standard 16 inches. It's a mechanical advantage that matters to you: uniform sizing, consistent volume per cord, and splits that fit any residential stove, insert, or fireplace without needing to be re-cut on your driveway.
Firewood Kilns
Our kilns bring green wood below 20% moisture in days instead of the six to twelve months air-seasoning takes. The heat also kills insects, mold, and fungus — which is why kiln-dried wood is safe to store indoors. It lights faster, burns hotter, and produces less creosote.
Dump Truck Fleet
We run multiple trucks so we can deliver anything from a half-cord drop in a tight suburban driveway up to a four-cord bulk load for a rural property. One truck can run a multi-stop route along a single corridor, which keeps delivery fees reasonable for everyone.
We deliver across central and eastern Massachusetts.
Based in Shirley, MA, covering Middlesex and Worcester counties. If your town isn't on the list, call us — we can usually work it out.
Three zones, priced by distance.
Delivery fees depend on distance from Shirley. Closer zones are the fastest to schedule.
Zone 1 — Local
Our backyard. Fastest scheduling, and ideal for large bulk drops if you have the room to store it.
- Shirley
- Devens
- Ayer
- Groton
- Harvard
- Lunenburg
- Townsend
- Pepperell
Zone 2 — Surrounding Towns
A good fit for half-cord and single-cord deliveries. Storage tends to be tighter in these neighborhoods.

- Westford
- Littleton
- Boxborough
- Acton
- Chelmsford
- Lancaster
- Clinton
Zone 3 — Extended Range
Towns along the Route 2 and 495 corridors. We group deliveries by route, so call early in the season to get on the schedule.

What to expect on delivery day.
- Overhead clearance. Our dump trucks raise their bodies to unload. If you have low-hanging branches, wires, or carports in the drop zone, let us know so we can plan placement.
- Solid surface. We need a paved driveway or a hard-packed surface to offload safely. Soft lawns in mud season are a problem — we'll work with you on a better drop point.
- Placement help. Our drivers will put the wood where you want it as long as the truck can reach. This is the part of the job our customers mention most often.
- Stacking service. Available on request — mention it when you order so we can quote it up front.
- Scheduling. Call us early in the season. Once the first cold snap hits, lead times stretch fast.
