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 stone from our Norwich area page to protect garden beds and pathways through the same cold, damp months.

Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails so Norwich's damp sandy loam soil does not wick moisture back into your seasoned logs. Leave the top loosely covered but the sides open to airflow, since fully wrapping a woodpile traps humidity and invites mold. A single row stack against a south facing wall dries fastest and stays most accessible during heavy snow months.
Oak and sugar maple take longer to catch but burn hot and steady for hours, making them ideal for overnight fires. Use a smaller amount of quicker burning ash to get your fire established, then add the denser oak once you have a solid coal bed. If a split piece feels heavy and cool inside when cracked open, it likely needs more seasoning time before it burns cleanly.
Order your firewood well before Norwich's first frost around October 11, since demand climbs fast once temperatures drop and popular cord sizes can sell out. Ordering in late summer or early fall also gives freshly split wood extra weeks to finish drying out in the open air before you need it, which matters given our humid regional climate.
Norwich winters stretch from the first frost around October 11 to the last frost near May 12, which means a long stretch of months when wood stoves and fireplaces are doing real work. Southeastern Connecticut's humidity makes unseasoned wood a losing battle, since green logs pulled from a damp sandy loam property can take a full year or more to dry properly before they burn clean. Our seasoned hardwood is dried down to burn hot and steady, which matters when you are trying to keep a colonial or farmhouse warm through a January cold snap. Locally common species like oak, ash, and sugar maple are dense and slow burning once seasoned, giving Norwich households more heat per load than softer woods. Buying wood that has already been seasoned means you are not gambling on whether your supply will be ready when the temperature drops. In a region where the heating season can run six months, that head start matters.
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.
