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 the season, check out our bulk mulch and topsoil options sourced for the same Winchester clay loam conditions, ideal for fall bed cleanup before the first frost hits.
Stack your firewood off the ground on a pallet or rack so Winchester's humid summers and wet winter snow do not wick moisture back into the bottom rows. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, and cover just the top of the stack rather than wrapping it entirely, since trapped moisture underneath a full tarp can undo months of seasoning before you ever get to burn it.
Oak and hickory both burn long and hot, making them ideal for overnight coals during a hard Winchester freeze, while locust catches fast and works well for building a quick fire on a chilly evening. If you are unsure whether a piece is truly seasoned, knock two pieces together, a sharp crack means dry wood, while a dull thud usually means it still needs more time.
Order your cord well before the October 12 frost date, since seasoned wood sells out fast once temperatures drop and everyone in Winchester is calling at the same time. Buying early also gives any borderline pieces extra weeks to finish drying in your stack before you actually need to rely on them for heat.
Winchester winters run long by Virginia standards, with a frost window stretching from October 12 to April 15, meaning many households are feeding a woodstove or fireplace for over five months straight. Our humid summers and Shenandoah Valley clay loam soils mean freshly cut wood holds a lot of moisture, so proper seasoning is not optional if you want a clean, efficient burn. We season our hardwood through a full spring and summer so moisture content drops before it ever reaches your driveway. Local species like oak, hickory, and locust are dense and burn hot and long, which matters when you are heating through a Winchester cold snap at 712 feet of elevation. Green wood in this humidity smokes, creosotes your flue, and wastes half its heat value just boiling off water. Buying seasoned wood grown near Winchester means it is ready to work the day it lands in your driveway.
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.
