About this firewood

A quarter cord of seasoned hardwood, 32 cubic feet, split and ready to burn. A tidy starter load for occasional fires and fireplace evenings through the season.

We had a great experience with mulch mound! Our mulch arrived when we requested. The delivery fee was so reasonable. We’ll use them again for sure!

For Arvada's roughly seven month frost window, occasional burners typically need a quarter to half cord, while regular wood heat users should plan on a full cord to comfortably make it through the season.

A full cord is a stacked pile of split firewood measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long, about 128 cubic feet. Every size we sell is measured against that same standard. A full cord is 128 cubic feet, a half cord is 64, a third of a cord is 43, and a quarter cord is 32. When you compare prices, ask how many cubic feet you are getting. A stack sold as 4 feet high by 8 feet long looks the same from the front whether it is 4 feet deep or 16 inches deep, but the shallow one holds about a third as much wood.

Areas we deliver firewood in Arvada, Colorado

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your firewood off the ground on a pallet or rack so Arvada's occasional wet snow does not wick moisture back into the bottom rows. Leave the top loosely covered but the sides open to airflow, since our dry climate actually helps wood continue seasoning even in storage. A stack that is too tightly tarped can trap moisture and slow drying instead of helping it.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Local hardwoods like oak and elm take longer to catch than softer woods, so build your fire with smaller kindling first and add split pieces once you have a solid bed of coals. A simple moisture meter can confirm a piece is truly ready, aim for readings under 20 percent before counting on it for an overnight burn.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood before the first hard frost hits in late September, since demand across the Front Range climbs quickly once temperatures drop and popular cord sizes can sell out. Ordering early also gives freshly split wood more time to finish seasoning in your own stack before you need it for a cold night.

Wood Heat in Arvada

Arvada sits at 5,348 feet with a heating season that stretches from late September frosts into mid May, which means a lot of nights burning wood to keep the house comfortable along the Front Range. Front Range air is naturally dry, which helps firewood season faster than it would in a humid climate, but wood still needs months of drying time before it burns clean and hot. Green or under seasoned wood in this altitude and dry air actually burns poorly because the low humidity can trick people into thinking a piece is ready when the interior is still wet. Local hardwoods like Colorado ash, oak, and elm are common in Arvada deliveries and each brings different heat output and burn time. Buying wood that has been properly seasoned near Arvada means you get consistent heat output through our long, cold stretch of winter instead of smoky, inefficient fires.

Local Hardwood Species

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.

Seasoning and Moisture

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.

Buy Local, Burn Local

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Click a question to see the answer

Answer

How much firewood do I actually need to get through an Arvada winter?

With frost typically starting around September 26 and lasting until mid May, most Arvada households that burn a few nights a week through the coldest months use somewhere between a half cord and a full cord. If wood heat is your primary source rather than a supplemental fireplace fire, plan closer to a full cord or more to cover the full stretch of cold.

Answer

What does seasoned firewood actually mean and why does it matter here?

Seasoned means the wood has been dried down to a low moisture content, typically under 20 percent, so it lights easily and burns hot instead of smoldering. In Arvada's dry climate wood can look ready on the outside well before the inside has actually dried out, so we season our stock long enough that it burns clean even at our elevation.

Answer

What kind of wood will I get with an Arvada delivery?

Our firewood is sourced from hardwood species common to the Front Range, including ash, oak, and elm, all split and dried for efficient burning. These species are well suited to Arvada's long heating season because they hold a steady, hot coal bed overnight.

Answer

Why does it matter that the firewood is sourced locally near Arvada?

Firewood should always be bought and burned near where it was cut because hauling wood long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas. Sourcing locally near Arvada keeps our regional ash trees safer and also means the wood you get is already suited to our elevation and dryness.

Answer

How does delivery to my Arvada driveway actually work?

Once you choose your cord size and schedule a delivery window, our crew brings the wood directly to your property and unloads it loose in the driveway. Stacking is not included, so plan on some time to move and stack it yourself once it arrives.

Answer

How do the different cord sizes compare?

A full cord is 128 cubic feet of stacked wood, measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long. Our quarter cord, third cord, and half cord options are simply fractions of that same 128 cubic foot measurement, so you can scale your order to match how much wood storage space or burning you actually plan to do this season.

Answer

Are there any local rules I should know about before burning firewood in Arvada?

The Denver metro area, including Arvada, occasionally issues high pollution advisories or voluntary burn restrictions during winter inversion events, so it is worth checking local air quality notices on cold, still days before lighting a fire. Burning fully seasoned hardwood instead of green wood also produces less particulate smoke, which helps on days when air quality is already a concern.
