We had a great experience with mulch mound! Our mulch arrived when we requested. The delivery fee was so reasonable. We’ll use them again for sure!

For Portsmouth's six month heating season, primary wood burners typically need two to three full cords, while occasional fireplace users often do fine with a half cord to a full cord.

A full cord is a stacked pile of split firewood measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long, about 128 cubic feet. Every size we sell is measured against that same standard. A full cord is 128 cubic feet, a half cord is 64, a third of a cord is 43, and a quarter cord is 32. When you compare prices, ask how many cubic feet you are getting. A stack sold as 4 feet high by 8 feet long looks the same from the front whether it is 4 feet deep or 16 inches deep, but the shallow one holds about a third as much wood.

First time going with this company for mulch and it was an efficient process from start to finish. Website was easy—I told them exactly where I wanted the mulch put on my driveway, and it was delivered perfectly when I got home from work the next day. Best deal around when I compared it to competitors and I will definitely be becoming back.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your firewood off the ground on pallets or rails so air can move underneath, since Portsmouth's humid summers and wet winters can wick moisture up into a pile sitting directly on soil. Keep the top covered with a tarp or woodshed roof but leave the sides open for airflow. A stack pushed against a south facing wall will also catch extra sun and dry faster before the first frost arrives.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory, our two most common local species, burn longest and hottest but take the longest to catch, so start fires with smaller ash splits or kindling before adding your dense oak rounds. A simple moisture meter reading under 20 percent tells you the wood is truly ready to burn clean, which matters more here given our valley humidity slows natural drying.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in late summer or early fall, well before the October 20 frost date, so it has time to finish seasoning in your own storage space and you are not scrambling once temperatures drop. Buying early also avoids the rush that hits every Portsmouth firewood supplier once the first cold snap catches procrastinators off guard.

Wood Heat in Portsmouth

Portsmouth sits in growing zone 6b with a heating season that stretches from the first frost around October 20 well past the last frost on April 28, meaning many households are running wood stoves and fireplaces for close to six months. That long stretch demands wood that is properly seasoned, not green, because unseasoned wood burns cool, smokes heavily, and builds creosote fast in chimneys during our humid Ohio River valley air. Local hardwoods like oak, hickory, and ash dry more slowly here than in drier climates, so seasoning time and dry storage really matter. We season our wood fully before delivery so it lights easier and burns hotter through the coldest weeks. Buying wood that has already adjusted to our regional humidity means fewer surprises when temperatures drop. It also means you are ready to burn the moment that first Portsmouth frost arrives.

Local Hardwood Species

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.

Seasoning and Moisture

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.

Buy Local, Burn Local

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

How much firewood does a typical Portsmouth home burn in a winter?

Homes that use wood as a primary heat source through our roughly six month heating season, from late October frost to late April thaw, often go through two to three full cords. If you are burning just on cold evenings or weekends, a half cord or quarter cord usually carries you comfortably.

Answer

What does seasoned firewood actually mean and why does it matter here?

Seasoned means the wood has dried down to a low moisture content after being cut and split, typically six months to a year depending on species. In our humid Ohio River valley climate, green wood holds onto moisture longer than in drier regions, so unseasoned wood can smoke, hiss, and fail to throw real heat when you need it most.

Answer

What kind of firewood species will I get?

Our loads are seasoned hardwood sourced locally near Portsmouth, typically a mix of oak, hickory, and ash, all species common to this part of southern Ohio and known for solid heat output and long burn times.

Answer

Why does it matter that the wood is sourced locally instead of trucked in from far away?

Moving firewood long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas. By sourcing near Portsmouth and delivering close to where it was cut, we help keep local forests healthier for everyone.

Answer

How does delivery actually work, do you stack it for me?

We deliver your order loose to your driveway rather than stacked, so you will want to have space cleared and a plan for moving it to your final storage spot or woodpile.

Answer

What is a cord, and how do your smaller sizes compare?

A full cord is 128 cubic feet of stacked wood, measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long. Our quarter cord is roughly a quarter of that volume, our third cord and half cord scale up from there, giving you flexible options depending on how much wood storage space and burning you plan on this season.

Answer

Are there any local rules about outdoor burning I should know about?

Scioto County occasionally issues air quality advisories during periods of stagnant winter air, so it is worth checking local notices on high pollution days and avoiding unnecessary open burning, though burning well seasoned wood in an enclosed stove or fireplace produces far less smoke than green wood or outdoor burn piles.
