Wonderful experience! They put the mulch exactly where we wanted. This mulch spread very easily and didn’t have the usual “mulch smell.” We will definitely use again!

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 landscape stone from our Rochester regional page to protect garden beds before the ground freezes.
Service area
Rochester's humid summers and snowy winters mean firewood needs airflow more than shelter. Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails, keep rows narrow enough for wind to pass through, and cover only the top with a tarp, leaving the sides open. Fully enclosing a stack traps moisture and slows seasoning, which matters when you are counting on dry wood during a January cold snap.
Oak and hard maple, common in our local mix, burn longer and hotter than softer woods, making them ideal for overnight burns during Rochester's coldest stretches. Ash lights faster and works well for building a quick, hot bed of coals. A simple moisture meter can confirm your wood is truly seasoned, aim for a reading below 20 percent before burning for the cleanest, most efficient fire.
Order your firewood well before the October 7 average first frost date. Waiting until the first cold snap often means longer delivery lead times and picked over supply, especially during early season demand spikes. Buying in late summer or early fall also gives any slightly less dry splits extra weeks to finish seasoning before you need them for a Rochester winter.
Rochester winters run long, with frost typically arriving by October 7 and lingering into early May, which means a heating season that can stretch six months or more. Wood that is not properly seasoned struggles to burn hot in our humid summers and cold, damp winters, leaving homeowners with smoky, inefficient fires and creosote buildup. We season our oak, ash, and hard maple for a full cycle before delivery so it burns cleaner and hotter through January cold snaps. Southeast Minnesota humidity slows natural drying, which is why we give our stacks the extra time needed to drop moisture content before it reaches your driveway. Choosing seasoned local hardwood means fewer trips to restock and a fireplace or wood stove that actually keeps up with a Zone 4b winter.
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.
