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!

For occasional fires through Springfield's October to April season, a quarter or half cord is usually enough, while daily wood burners should order a full cord or more to avoid running short in the coldest months.

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 planning ahead of frost, check out our mulch and soil options sourced for the same Silty Clay Loam conditions found across Springfield yards, ideal for insulating garden beds before winter sets in.
Stack your firewood off the ground on pallets or rails so Springfield's humid air and snowmelt do not wick moisture back into the wood you just paid to have seasoned. Leave gaps between rows for airflow and cover only the top of the stack, keeping the sides open so trapped moisture can escape rather than condensing back into the wood during freeze thaw cycles common here in winter.
Oak and hickory from local woodlots take longer to catch but burn hot and long once going, making them ideal for overnight coals on the coldest Springfield nights. Use a faster catching wood or kindling to start your fire, then add the denser splits once you have a solid coal bed, which gets you more consistent heat through a long central Illinois winter night.
Order your firewood well before the first frost typically hits Springfield around October 13, since demand climbs fast once temperatures drop and popular cord sizes can sell out during the first cold snap. Ordering in September or early October also gives any slightly under seasoned splits extra weeks to dry further before you actually need to burn them.
Springfield sits in zone 6b, which means a heating season that stretches from mid October frost through mid April, often five to six months of wood stove and fireplace use. Central Illinois humidity and Silty Clay Loam soils slow down natural drying, so firewood cut and split just weeks before delivery can still carry too much moisture to burn clean. Our seasoned hardwood is dried down over a full season so it lights easier and throws more heat per load through Springfield's long winter stretch. Local species like oak, hickory, and hard maple are common in the woodlots around Sangamon County and are prized for dense, long burning coals on cold nights. Buying wood that has already been properly seasoned matters here because green wood in a Springfield winter means more creosote buildup and a chimney that needs cleaning more often.
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.
