Great service. We ordered topsoil from Mulch Mound and the best experience. Thank you so much!

For a typical Scranton heating season running October through May, plan on a half cord to a full cord per month of regular use, adding up to 3 to 4 cords for homes that lean on wood heat daily.

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.

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.

We have always spread our own mulch for the past 24 years. This was our first time with the Mulch Mound - things I liked: they have online ordering and provide a digital receipt which means you can remember how much you ordered (I always forget for the next year!), they were on time, they were able to deliver in 48 hours, they were generous with the portion (we got 9 yards and it felt like a FULL nine yards!), the driver was polite! We have ordered from reputable places, and there is always a little trash in the mulch. The mulch we recv'd from Mulch Mound had barely any... we were pleasant surprised!!! Color was great! Not to mention - the price was competitive and LOWER than other mulch places around. We will use again !! Highly recommend! Thanks Mulch Mound!

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails so Scranton's damp soil and rocky clay do not wick moisture back into the bottom rows. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, and cover just the top of the stack, not the sides, so humidity from summer storms does not get trapped in and undo the seasoning work already done before delivery.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory take longer to catch but burn hot and steady for overnight heat, while ash lights easier and works well for building a quick fire. Test moisture with a simple splitter test, if the wood hisses or sizzles instead of crackling cleanly, it needs more drying time before it is ready.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in late summer, before the rush that hits once temperatures start dropping toward Scranton's early October frost date. Ordering early means better availability on full cords and gives freshly split wood extra weeks to finish seasoning in your stack before you actually need it burning.

Wood Heat in Scranton

Scranton sits at 754 feet in growing zone 6a, and with first frost typically landing around October 5 and last frost lingering until May 5, homeowners here are looking at a long heating season that stretches well past six months. Northeastern Pennsylvania homes, many with older housing stock and wood stoves or fireplaces original to the build, rely on dense hardwood to get through the coldest stretches. Local species like oak, hickory, ash, and sugar maple are common in our woodlots and split well for consistent, long burning heat. The region's humid summers mean freshly cut wood needs real time to season properly, so wood that has not dried down to the 20 percent moisture range will smoke, smolder, and coat your chimney with creosote instead of throwing heat. Buying properly seasoned wood sourced near Scranton means it has already gone through a full drying cycle suited to our climate, not shipped in from somewhere with different humidity patterns.

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 many cords will I need to get through a Scranton winter?

With our frost window running from early October to early May, most homes burning a wood stove regularly as a primary heat source use 3 to 4 full cords over the season, while occasional fireplace users might get by on 1 to 1.5 cords.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried for at least 6 to 12 months until its moisture content drops low enough to burn clean, which matters in our humid Pennsylvania summers because green wood dries slower here than in drier climates and can still be wet inside even if the outside looks gray and cracked.

Answer

What kind of wood will I actually get delivered?

Expect a mix of hardwoods common to the Scranton area woodlots, mainly oak, hickory, ash, and sugar maple, all known for dense, long burning heat suited to our long heating season.

Answer

Is this wood actually local, and does that matter?

Yes, our firewood is sourced near Scranton, and buying local matters because hauling firewood long distances is how pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new forests, so keeping wood close to where it is cut and burned protects the trees around your own neighborhood.

Answer

How does delivery to my driveway work?

You choose your cord size, pick a delivery date, and we dump the wood loose in your driveway at the spot you request, leaving the stacking to you.

Answer

What is the difference between a quarter cord, half cord, and full cord?

A full cord is 128 cubic feet stacked, measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long, so a half cord is half that volume and a quarter cord is a quarter, letting you scale your order to how much wood you actually burn and how much space you have to stack it.

Answer

Are there any local burn rules I should know about in Scranton?

Lackawanna County can see winter air quality advisories during stagnant cold snaps, so it is worth checking local notices on high pollution days and making sure you are only burning seasoned wood, since green or wet wood produces far more smoke and particulate matter.
