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 Aurora's stretch of cold from early October frost to early May thaw, most nightly stove households should plan on a half cord to a full cord, while occasional burners can get by on a quarter or third cord.

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.

First time going with this company for mulch and it was an efficient process from start to finish. Website was easy—I told them exactly where I wanted the mulch put on my driveway, and it was delivered perfectly when I got home from work the next day. Best deal around when I compared it to competitors and I will definitely be becoming back.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or a rack, and keep it covered on top but open on the sides so Aurora's dry air can keep circulating through the pile. Full sun exposure through fall speeds up seasoning, but do not wrap it in plastic, since trapped moisture from snowmelt runoff can undo months of drying before you even get it onto the fire.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Test moisture before loading your stove by knocking two splits together, listening for a sharp crack rather than a dull thud. Denser local species like elm take a bit longer to catch, so start your fire with faster igniting cottonwood or kindling before adding your denser splits once the coal bed builds.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your cord well before Aurora's first frost typically hits in early October, since demand climbs fast once nighttime temperatures drop and yards start scrambling for delivery slots. Buying in late summer also gives freshly split wood extra weeks to season in the dry late summer air before you need it.

Wood Heat in Aurora

Aurora sits at 5471 feet with a heating season that stretches from early October frost through May, meaning many households are running a stove or fireplace for well over half the year. At this elevation the air runs dry, which actually helps wood season faster once it is split, but it also means green or half seasoned wood burns hotter and faster while leaving more creosote in the flue. Our wood is sourced locally near Aurora and seasoned in the Front Range's low humidity, so moisture content drops to burn ready levels without the mustiness you get in wetter climates. Local species like Rocky Mountain juniper, cottonwood, and occasional ash or elm give a mix of quick starting kindling wood and longer burning dense splits. Given how long Aurora's cold stretch runs, buying seasoned hardwood cut and dried for our clay loam soil region means fewer chimney fires and more heat per load. That matters when you are feeding a stove nightly from October through the tail end of frost season in May.

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 Aurora winter?

With frost typically arriving October 7 and lingering until around May 7, Aurora's burn season is long. A household running a stove several nights a week through that stretch usually goes through a half cord to a full cord, while occasional fire pit or weekend fireplace use is often covered by a quarter or a third cord.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried down to a low moisture content after being split and stored, which at Aurora's elevation happens fairly efficiently thanks to our dry air. Burning seasoned wood instead of green wood means less smoke, less creosote buildup in your flue, and more actual heat output on a cold Front Range night.

Answer

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

Expect a mix of dense Rocky Mountain hardwoods and locally available species such as cottonwood, ash, and elm, all sourced from within our regional delivery area rather than shipped in from out of state.

Answer

Is this firewood really local, and does that matter?

Yes, we source near Aurora specifically because moving firewood long distances is how invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread from town to town. Buying local and burning local keeps that risk contained to areas that are already managing it.

Answer

How does delivery to my driveway actually work?

We schedule a drop off window, then dump your ordered cord size loose in the driveway rather than stacking it, so you will want a wheelbarrow or a plan for moving it to your storage spot.

Answer

What is the difference between a quarter, a third, a half, and a full cord?

A full cord is 128 cubic feet, stacked as 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long. Our quarter cord is one fourth of that volume, the third cord is one third, and the half cord is exactly half, so you can scale your order to match how much wood storage space and burning frequency you actually have.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning wood in Aurora?

Colorado's Front Range occasionally issues high pollution advisories in winter that ask residents to limit unnecessary wood burning on the worst air quality days, so it is worth checking local advisories before a non essential fire, especially during winter inversions common at our elevation.
