The Premier Fire Wood Producer In Saskatoon
“When we cut down and remove a tree from your property, that wood doesn’t go to waste. We split the logs and store the timber in our facility until it’s properly seasoned, then sell it to the public at some of the lowest prices in Saskatoon. Saskatoon’s winters can vary significantly from year to year, which is part of why planning ahead for your wood supply matters more than people expect.
“If a homeowner doesn’t want to keep their wood, we take it to the city compost facility instead. The City of Saskatoon accepts most tree and shrub varieties through their wood chipping program and gives back free compost and mulch to residents in return. And once a tree is down, clearing the stump completes the job so your yard is fully usable again.”

Types Of Firewood In Saskatoon
Here is a list of the most common types of trees being cut down in Saskatoon, and some insight on how they burn.
Birch
Birch is an excellent hardwood for quick heat. It ignites easily, makes great kindling, and produces a substantial amount of heat fast. The tradeoff is that it burns quickly, so if you’re heating your home with birch, expect to tend the fire more often than with other woods on this list.
Oak
Oak is the most desirable firewood available in Saskatoon. It burns slowly and generates a tremendous amount of heat over a long period. The downsides are that oak takes longer to season fully, and once dried out, it’s harder to ignite. We recommend using a different wood as kindling to get it started.
Maple
Maple is readily available in Saskatoon and burns longer than both birch and oak. Once seasoned, the only real drawback is that it doesn’t burn quite as hot as some other options. For the best results, burn maple, oak, and birch together.
Pine
Softwoods like pine offer real advantages as firewood — it splits easily, seasons quickly, and burns hot. The tradeoff is that it burns fast, so you’ll add wood more frequently, and sap pockets inside the wood can cause sparks, so keep an eye on it.
Cedar
Cedar shares many characteristics with pine. It burns at a high temperature but burns through quickly. It also stores sap, which causes regular sparking, so we recommend burning cedar alongside other wood types rather than on its own.

Our firewood pricing is among the most competitive in Saskatoon, since we source it directly from trees we remove rather than buying it separately. Call (306)400-5425 for current pricing on the wood type and quantity you need.
Yes. All our firewood is split and aged in our yard before it’s sold, so you’re not stuck waiting months to burn what you buy.
Oak and maple are the best choices for sustained winter heating since they burn slowly and produce significant heat over time. Many of our customers mix oak or maple with a faster-burning wood like birch or pine to get a fire going quickly, then maintain heat with the denser wood.
