Placing an order online was so easy. Delivery was on time. When the driver realized we had a newly poured driveway they erred on the side of caution and opted not ti drive in it. The company even sent me a message explaining that call. Would recommend!

Most Bloomington households heating occasionally through the winter do fine with a quarter to half cord, while those relying on wood stove heat through the full frost to frost season should plan for a full cord or more.

Great service. We ordered topsoil from Mulch Mound and the best experience. Thank you so much!

One of the easiest customer service experiences I've had in a long time! Mulch Mound made it so simple. After putting it off for a while, I looked at the weather and knew I needed to get to mulching ASAP before the rain came if I didn't want to wait another week. I put my order in for the next day online and they came right at 9 AM. The employee who dropped off the mulch did a great job, putting it right on the tarp I laid out, she even made sure none of it got on the yard and double checked the truck bed to make sure it all came out. The mulch was exactly what I needed and arrived right on time.
While you are prepping the yard for winter, pair your firewood order with a load of mulch or soil from our Bloomington regional page to protect perennial beds and garden borders through the same long freeze window.

Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails so it is not sitting in melting snow or spring mud, since our silty clay loam soil drains slowly and holds moisture right where a woodpile sits. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, cover just the top with a tarp, and keep the sides open so trapped humidity does not undo the seasoning work already done before delivery.
Oak and hickory both burn dense and slow, which makes them ideal for loading the stove before bed on a cold night, while hard maple lights easier and works well for building a base fire. Split a few pieces smaller for kindling duty rather than relying only on the full rounds, and always start with the driest wood from the top or center of your stack.
Order ahead of the first frost rather than waiting for the first real cold snap, since demand for delivery climbs fast once temperatures drop in early October. Ordering in late summer or early fall also gives any slightly higher moisture wood extra weeks to dry further in your own stack before you need to burn it.
Bloomington sits in growing zone 6a with a heating season that stretches from the first frost around October 4 through the last frost near May 4, which means many households are running wood stoves or fireplaces for six months or more. Our seasoned hardwood is sourced from central Illinois oak, hickory, and hard maple, species that hold heat well through long stretches of single digit nights. Wood cut and split from local timber is air dried for months before delivery, which matters because Illinois summer humidity slows the drying process compared to drier climates. Green or under seasoned wood in this kind of moisture environment burns cooler, smokes more, and builds creosote faster in chimneys. Buying seasoned wood that has already dropped its moisture content means fewer cold starts and less time fussing with a stubborn fire during a February cold snap. Local sourcing also keeps the wood adapted to our silty clay loam region rather than trucked in from a different climate entirely.
Expect dense regional hardwoods like oak, hickory, maple, and ash. These species burn longer and hotter than softwoods, which is what you want when a cold snap settles in and the stove runs all day.
Firewood needs 6 to 12 months of drying before it burns well. Properly seasoned wood lights faster, throws more heat, and keeps creosote out of your chimney, which matters most in the coldest weeks of the year.
Firewood that travels long distances spreads invasive pests like the emerald ash borer. Our wood is cut and seasoned close to where it is delivered, which protects local trees and means fresher wood for you.
