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 a typical Quincy heating season, most occasional burners do well with a half cord to a full cord, while daily wood heat users should plan for two to three cords.

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 Quincy's damp silt loam soil does not wick moisture back into the wood. Leave gaps between rows for airflow and face the stack toward prevailing winds if possible. A simple tarp over just the top, not the sides, keeps snow and freezing rain off while still letting humidity escape between our fall rains and the first hard frost.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory from around Quincy burn slow and hot, ideal for overnight coals, while hard maple lights faster and works well for building an initial fire. Test a split before burning by knocking two pieces together, a sharp crack means it is dry and ready, a dull thud suggests it needs more time to season in our humid air.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in late summer or early fall before Quincy's first frost around October 15. Wood bought and delivered early has time to finish seasoning in your stack, and you avoid the rush that hits local suppliers once temperatures start dropping and everyone remembers winter is coming.

Wood Heat in Quincy

Quincy sits in growing zone 6a with a heating season that typically stretches from mid October frost through mid April, meaning wood stoves and fireplaces here get real, sustained use for six months or more. Silt loam ground and river valley humidity along the Mississippi mean freshly cut wood holds moisture longer than in drier regions, so proper seasoning before delivery is essential rather than optional. Local hardwoods like oak, hickory, and hard maple are dense and burn long, but only after they have dried down for a full season or more. Wood that has not seasoned properly will hiss, smoke, and leave creosote in chimneys during Quincy's damp winter stretches. Buying seasoned hardwood cut and dried near Quincy means it is ready to perform when the first hard frost hits.

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 do I need to get through a Quincy winter?

Most Quincy households burning a few nights a week from mid October to mid April go through roughly one to one and a half cords. If you rely on wood heat daily as your primary source, plan for two to three cords given how long our cold stretch runs.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried for at least six to twelve months after splitting, dropping moisture content low enough to burn hot and clean. In Quincy's humid river valley air, green wood dries slower than in drier climates, so unseasoned wood can smolder and gum up your flue right when you need heat most.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I get with a Quincy delivery?

Expect a mix of oak, hickory, and hard maple sourced from woodlots near Quincy. These are the dense hardwoods common to our part of Illinois and they hold coals well through long overnight burns.

Answer

Is this firewood really local, and does that matter?

Yes, all our wood is cut near Quincy rather than trucked in from far away. Keeping firewood local matters because moving wood long distances is how pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas, and our region has already seen the damage that insect can do to ash trees.

Answer

How does delivery actually work?

You choose your cord size, pick a delivery date, and we drop the load loose in your driveway. Stacking is not included, so plan on having help or a wheelbarrow ready to move it to your storage spot.

Answer

What is a cord and how do the smaller sizes compare?

A full cord is 128 cubic feet stacked, measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long. Our quarter cord is roughly a quarter of that volume, the third cord about a third, and the half cord half the stack, so you can match your order to your wood rack or storage space without overbuying.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning wood in Quincy?

Quincy does not currently have a formal wood burning ban, but on days with poor air quality it is good practice to hold off on outdoor burning and rely on indoor stoves with proper ventilation instead, especially during still, humid winter days when smoke lingers close to the ground.
