Wonderful experience! They put the mulch exactly where we wanted. This mulch spread very easily and didn’t have the usual “mulch smell.” We will definitely use again!

For a typical Keene heating season, plan on a half cord to one cord if firewood is a supplemental heat source, and 3 to 5 full cords if it is your primary heat through the long stretch from October frost to late May thaw.

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 for winter, consider pairing your firewood order with mulch or bark from our Keene area page to insulate garden beds before the ground freezes solid.
Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails so Keene's spring thaw and mud season do not wick moisture back into your logs. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, and top the stack with a simple cover that shields the top from rain and snow but leaves the sides open, since fully wrapped tarps trap humidity and slow seasoning in our damp climate.
Sugar maple and red oak both burn slow and hot, making them ideal for overnight coal beds during Keene's coldest stretches in January and February. Keep a little yellow birch on hand for quick, bright starter fires, since its papery bark catches easily even when the air outside is damp and cold.
Order your wood in late summer or early fall, well before the first frost typically hits Keene around October 3. Waiting until the first cold snap often means scrambling for whatever is left, and wood that has not had a full summer to season may still carry more moisture than you want for efficient burning.
Keene sits in growing zone 5b at about 486 feet elevation, with a heating season that stretches from the first frost around October 3 through the last frost near May 27, often eight months of the year when a woodstove matters. That long cold stretch means firewood needs real time to season, not just a few weeks in the sun. Our wood is split and dried from local hardwoods like sugar maple, red oak, and yellow birch, species that grow throughout the Monadnock region and are known for dense, long burning coals. Glacial till soils here support these slower growing hardwoods, which is part of why they burn hotter and cleaner than softer, faster growing species. Buying wood that has already gone through a full Keene summer of drying means less creosote buildup in older Keene chimneys, many of which are original to the area's historic farmhouses and capes. Green wood in a New Hampshire winter just fights you, hissing and smoking instead of throwing heat.
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.
