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!

Most Reading homes supplementing a furnace do well with one to two cords for the season, while full time wood heat households should plan for three to five cords to comfortably reach the last frost in late April.

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 the yard for winter, check out our mulch and stone options sourced for the same silt loam soils around Reading to protect garden beds through the frost window.

Stack your delivery off the ground on pallets or rails so air can move underneath, and keep the top covered but the sides open to airflow. Berks County humidity means fully enclosed tarps trap moisture and can encourage mold, so a simple roof style cover works better than wrapping the whole pile tight through our damp winters.
Oak and hickory take longer to catch but burn long and hot once going, so use a few split pieces of faster catching maple to get your fire established before adding the denser wood. This local mix gives you both quick heat and a bed of coals that lasts through a cold Reading night.
Order your wood in late summer or early fall before the rush that hits right around the first frost near October 15. Ordering early also gives any borderline pieces extra weeks of drying time in your own stack before you actually need to burn them on a cold November evening.
Reading sits in growing zone 6b at about 280 feet elevation, which means a heating season that typically runs from mid October through late April, a stretch of roughly six months where a wood stove or fireplace insert can be doing real work. Berks County's silt loam soils support strong stands of oak, hickory, ash, and sugar maple, all of which make excellent dense firewood when properly dried. The problem is that green wood cut locally holds a lot of internal moisture, and our humid Pennsylvania summers slow down natural drying compared to drier climates out west. Wood that has not seasoned long enough will smolder, throw more creosote into your chimney, and produce far less usable heat exactly when you need it most. Buying wood that has already been split and air dried through a full season means it is ready to perform on the first cold night after frost hits around October 15.
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.
