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.

While you are stocking up for winter, check out our mulch and soil options for Wisconsin Rapids to get garden beds and landscaping ready before the ground freezes in October.
Stack your firewood off bare ground on pallets or rails so air can move underneath, since our sandy loam soils hold moisture close to the surface after fall rains. Keep the top covered but the sides open to airflow, and face the stack toward prevailing winds if possible. This setup helps wood stay dry through the wet snow and freeze thaw cycles common here between November and March.
Test a split before burning by knocking two pieces together. Well seasoned oak or maple gives a sharp, hollow crack, while green wood sounds dull and heavy. You can also check cut ends for radiating cracks, a sign moisture has left the wood. Burning properly dried hardwood means less creosote buildup in your flue and considerably more heat per load through the coldest January nights.
Order your wood in late summer or early fall, well before the first frost typically arrives around October 3rd. Demand climbs fast once temperatures drop, and early orders give already seasoned wood time to settle into your stacking area before snow makes driveway delivery and stacking much harder to manage.
Wisconsin Rapids winters stretch from early October frost clear through mid May, which means a long heating season for anyone running a wood stove or outdoor furnace. Central Wisconsin homes burn a lot of oak, ash, and hard maple, all species that need six months to a year of proper drying before they throw real heat. Green wood full of sap simply cannot compete once temperatures drop below zero, and it smokes up chimneys instead of warming a living room. Our sandy loam soils here drain quickly, which actually helps wood stacked off the ground season faster in the drier fall air before the snow moves in. Buying wood that has already gone through a proper seasoning cycle locally means you are ready to load the stove the day it arrives instead of waiting out a Wisconsin winter with damp rounds.
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.
