Most State College households burning several nights a week should plan on one to two full cords for the season, while occasional fireplace users often do fine with a 1/4 or 1/3 cord.

I recently ordered from mulch mound and was thoroughly impressed with every aspect of the experience. The entire process, from placing the order to delivery was seamless and efficient. The mulch arrived exactly on time, and the quality exceeded my expectations. The color was rich and consistent, and I received more than enough to complete my project with proper coverage and packing.
Customer service was equally outstanding. Communication was clear, and the team was responsive and professional throughout. It’s rare to find a company that delivers both a high-quality product and excellent service, but mulch mound did just that.
Highly recommended, and I wouldn’t hesitate to order from them again.

I couldn't be happier with the speed and quality of the mulch delivery service of Mulch Mound. Every detail from ordering, to communication with on time delivery, to perfect product placement was amazing. I needed more and I got it within 2 hours! I'm never doing this with bags again.
If you are prepping your property for winter anyway, pair your firewood delivery with mulch or stone from our State College material lineup to protect garden beds through our long frost window.
Stack your wood off the ground on a pallet or rack with the bark side up to shed moisture, and leave gaps between rows for airflow. In our humid Ridge and Valley air, wood stacked too tightly or directly on soil can reabsorb moisture even after seasoning, so a covered top with open sides works better than a fully tarped pile.
Dense local hardwoods like oak and black locust burn longer and hotter than softer species, making them ideal for overnight burns during our coldest stretches in January and February. Mix in a faster burning wood for quick morning fires, saving the dense splits for when you need sustained heat through a long cold night.
Order your firewood in late summer or early fall, well before the October 20 first frost typically arrives. Buying early means your wood has more time to finish drying in your own storage, and you avoid the rush that hits local suppliers once temperatures start dropping across central Pennsylvania.
State College sits at 1,150 feet in growing zone 6b, with a heating season that stretches from the first frost around October 20 through the last frost near May 1, easily seven months of cold nights in the ridge and valley country around Happy Valley. That long season means a lot of wood gets burned, and green or wet wood simply cannot keep up with demand for steady heat. Our hardwood is sourced locally near State College and seasoned so it burns hot and clean instead of smoldering and creosoting your flue. Local species like red oak, sugar maple, and black locust are common in the Ridge and Valley hardwood mix, and each brings different burn characteristics to your stove or fireplace. Central Pennsylvania humidity slows down natural drying compared to drier climates, so proper seasoning time before delivery matters even more here. Buying wood that already reflects our local forest composition also means it is ready for our specific winter demands, not shipped in from a different climate.
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.
