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.
Placing an order online was so easy. Delivery was on time. When the driver realized we had a newly poured driveway they erred on the side of caution and opted not ti drive in it. The company even sent me a message explaining that call. Would recommend!

How Much Firewood Do I Need?
For a typical Brookfield heating season running roughly seven months, plan on a half cord for occasional use or a full cord if wood is your primary heat source.
What is a 1/4 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.
What is a 1/3 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.
What is a 1/2 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.

One of the easiest customer service experiences I've had in a long time! Mulch Mound made it so simple. After putting it off for a while, I looked at the weather and knew I needed to get to mulching ASAP before the rain came if I didn't want to wait another week. I put my order in for the next day online and they came right at 9 AM. The employee who dropped off the mulch did a great job, putting it right on the tarp I laid out, she even made sure none of it got on the yard and double checked the truck bed to make sure it all came out. The mulch was exactly what I needed and arrived right on time.
While you are prepping the yard for winter, consider a load of mulch or landscape stone from our Brookfield regional page to protect garden beds before the ground freezes.
Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails so Wisconsin's spring thaw and summer humidity do not wick moisture back into split logs. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, and top the stack loosely rather than wrapping it tightly, since trapped moisture under tarps is a common cause of moldy, hard to light wood by January.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Oak and hickory take longer to catch than softer woods, so build your fire with a smaller kindling base and let it establish before adding larger splits. A quick moisture check is snapping a piece in half, seasoned wood should crack cleanly rather than bend or hiss when placed near flame.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Order your firewood in late summer or early fall, well before the first frost typically hits around October 14. Wood delivered in August or September has extra weeks to finish drying and settle into your stacking area before you actually need it for the first cold nights of the season.
Wood Heat in Brookfield
Brookfield winters stretch from mid October frost through early May, giving homeowners nearly seven months where a wood stove or fireplace gets real use. Southeast Wisconsin's clay loam ground and humid summers mean freshly cut wood holds moisture longer than in drier climates, so proper seasoning is not optional here, it is the difference between a clean burn and a smoky, creosote heavy chimney. Our wood is seasoned local hardwood, mostly oak, hard maple, and hickory, species that dominate the woodlots around Waukesha County. These dense woods burn longer and hotter, which matters when overnight lows in January regularly sit in the teens. Buying wood that has already dried down through a full Wisconsin summer means you are not fighting hissing, sputtering logs on the coldest nights of the year.
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

Answer
How much firewood do I actually need for a Brookfield winter?
Most Brookfield homeowners burning several nights a week from October through April use somewhere between one half cord and a full cord per season, depending on whether wood is a supplemental heat source or a primary one. Households running a wood stove daily through our long zone 5b winter often go through a full cord or more.
Answer
What does seasoned firewood mean and why does it matter here?
Seasoned means the wood has been split and dried, typically six months to a year, until moisture content drops low enough to burn cleanly. In our humid Wisconsin summers, green wood holds onto water much longer, so seasoned wood is essential for avoiding excess smoke and creosote buildup in chimneys during our long heating season.
Answer
What kind of wood will I get with my delivery?
Expect a mix dominated by oak, hard maple, and hickory, the hardwoods most common in the woodlots surrounding Brookfield. These species are dense, burn long, and produce steady heat, which suits the extended cold stretches typical of our winters.
Answer
Is this firewood actually sourced locally, and does that matter?
Yes, our firewood is sourced near Brookfield rather than trucked in from distant regions. Keeping firewood local is important because moving wood long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread from town to town, threatening Wisconsin's remaining ash trees.
Answer
How does firewood delivery actually work?
You choose your cord size, schedule a delivery window, and our truck drops the wood loose in your driveway. Stacking is not included, so plan on having space and time to move it to its storage spot yourself.
Answer
What is the difference between a quarter, third, half, and full cord?
A full cord is 128 cubic feet, stacked 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, giving Brookfield homeowners flexible options depending on storage space and how much of the winter they plan to heat with wood.
Answer
Are there any local rules about burning wood in Brookfield?
Southeast Wisconsin occasionally issues air quality advisories during winter inversions, so it is worth checking local notices on high pollution days before lighting an outdoor fire. Indoor wood stove and fireplace use is generally unrestricted, but well seasoned wood burns cleaner and produces less smoke regardless of conditions.
