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!

For a typical Lancaster heating season running frost to frost, most regular wood stove users should plan on a half cord to a full cord, while occasional fireplace burners often get by with a quarter to a third cord.

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 for the cold season, check out our mulch and soil options suited to Lancaster's sandy loam, ideal for protecting root systems before the ground freezes.
Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails so air can move underneath, and keep it away from direct contact with fences or siding. Lancaster's dry climate helps prevent rot, but sudden winter rain events can still soak an exposed pile fast, so a simple top cover, left open on the sides for airflow, keeps your wood from picking up moisture it does not need.
Local oak takes longer to catch than almond, so start fires with smaller almond splits or kindling before adding denser oak once you have a solid bed of coals. This layered approach gets you a hotter, more efficient fire and makes the most of oak's long burn time on cold desert nights when temperatures can drop sharply after sunset.
Order your firewood before late October if possible, since demand climbs fast once nighttime temperatures start dropping ahead of the November 5 average first frost. Ordering early also gives you time to get wood stacked and settled in place before storms or cold snaps make driveway deliveries and stacking work less pleasant.
Lancaster sits at 2350 feet in the Antelope Valley, where high desert nights drop fast even though days can still feel mild, and that swing means a real heating season stretching from the first frost around November 5 to the last frost near March 26. Dry desert air actually helps wood season well, but it also means homeowners often assume any wood is dry enough to burn when it is not, and unseasoned wood loaded with trapped moisture burns dirty and creates excess smoke in our already dry air basin. Our seasoned hardwood is split and dried down to a proper burn moisture level before it ever reaches your driveway. Local oak and almond wood, common byproducts of the valley's agricultural areas, are dense, burn long, and hold heat well through the cold desert nights. Because our low humidity accelerates seasoning compared to wetter climates, we can deliver truly ready to burn wood without the years of storage other regions require.
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.
