López Firewood | Premium Firewood & Mulch in McIntosh, NM

Absolutely. While our seasoned firewood is for burning, we also provide wood chips and mulch from our operation. Applying a layer of our natural mulch around your plants is one of the best ways to combat the dry, windy conditions here. It acts like a blanket, slowing evaporation from the soil, reducing water runoff, and helping your irrigation work more effectively by keeping moisture where your plants need it.

For our high desert climate, dense hardwoods like oak and mesquite are excellent—they burn hot and long. The same principle of choosing quality, local materials applies to your landscape. Using our locally sourced wood chips as mulch is a sustainable choice. It improves soil health as it breaks down, creating a better environment for your plants to withstand the heat and retain the water from your irrigation system.

It's a common issue here. First, ensure your irrigation isn't leaking and is delivering water deeply. Then, apply a thicker layer (about 3-4 inches) of our coarse wood chips. This depth is key in our climate—it protects the soil below from sun and wind better than thin layers. Replenishing it annually helps maintain that protective barrier, conserves water, and reduces the frequency you need to run your irrigation.
