Most Bloomington households burning a few nights a week get through winter comfortably on a half cord to a full cord, while full time wood heat users should plan on two to three cords ordered before the coldest months hit.

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!
Great service. We ordered topsoil from Mulch Mound and the best experience. Thank you so much!
While you are prepping the yard for winter, check out our mulch and soil options for Bloomington properties to protect garden beds and landscaping through the same cold stretch your firewood is meant to help you survive indoors.
Service area
Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails to keep it away from Bloomington's damp silt loam soil, and cover only the top with a tarp so air can still move through the sides. Full sun and wind exposure speeds drying and discourages mold in our humid summers, and a stack near the house, but not touching it, makes winter trips easier during icy weeks.
Oak and hickory take longer to catch but throw steady heat for hours, making them ideal for overnight burns on the coldest Bloomington nights. Start fires with faster igniting maple or smaller split pieces, then add oak or hickory once the fire is established, giving you a long, even burn without constantly tending the stove.
Order your seasoned wood in late summer or early fall, well before the October 15 average first frost, so it is on hand before demand spikes and before the first cold snap catches you short. Ordering early also means your wood has had extra time resting after our humid summer, giving you a cleaner, more reliable burn all winter long.
Bloomington sits in growing zone 6b, with a heating season that typically runs from mid October through late April, meaning many homes rely on wood heat for six months or more. The silt loam soils around Monroe County support strong stands of oak, hickory, and hard maple, all of which are prized for long, hot burns once properly dried. Southern Indiana's humid summers slow down seasoning compared to drier climates, so wood that has not been dried a full year often still carries too much internal moisture when the first frost hits around October 15. Burning green or under seasoned wood in that damp air creates excess creosote and smoke, which is a real problem in the tightly built older homes common in Bloomington neighborhoods near downtown and the IU campus. Properly seasoned hardwood lights faster, burns hotter, and keeps chimneys cleaner through our long, humid winter stretch. That is why we only deliver wood that has already gone through a full seasoning cycle before it reaches your driveway.
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.
