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 most Denver households, a half cord to one full cord covers a typical fireplace burning season, while full time wood heat users should plan on three to five cords to make it comfortably from the October frost to the May thaw.

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

Denver's freeze thaw cycles between October and May mean firewood left directly on the ground can wick up moisture from melting snow even in a dry climate. Stack your wood on a pallet or rack a few inches off the ground, keep it away from your house's siding, and cover only the top of the stack so air can still move through the sides and keep everything dry through the winter.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Gambel oak burns long and hot, making it a solid choice for overnight coals, while cottonwood lights fast and works well for building a quick bed of heat before adding denser splits. A simple moisture check with an inexpensive meter should read near or below 20 percent before you consider a log truly ready to burn clean in your stove.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood well before the first frost around October 5, since local seasoned wood supply tends to tighten up once nighttime temperatures start dropping across the Front Range. Buying early also gives freshly split wood extra weeks to finish drying in Denver's low humidity air before you need it for the first cold snap of the season.

Wood Heat in Denver

Denver winters stretch from a first frost around October 5 to a last frost near May 5, which means many homes are running wood stoves or fireplaces for six months or more. At 5,280 feet, the dry high plains air is actually an advantage for firewood because it speeds up seasoning and helps keep split logs from molding in storage. Local suppliers season hardwoods common to the Front Range, like Gambel oak and cottonwood, until moisture content drops low enough to burn hot and clean, which matters more here than in humid climates because green or under seasoned wood smokes heavily in Denver's thin, dry air and produces less heat when you need it most. Buying wood that has already had a proper seasoning period means fewer creosote buildups in your chimney during our long heating season. Given how many nights dip well below freezing between October and May, having a reliable stack of dry, ready to burn hardwood on hand is not a luxury here, it is a necessity.

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 a Denver winter?

If wood heat is your primary source, most Denver homes burn through roughly three to five full cords across the October to May heating season, while occasional fireplace users often get by on a half cord to a full cord. Homes at our elevation tend to run stoves longer into spring because nighttime temperatures stay cool well past the last frost date of May 5.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried down to a low moisture content after being split and stored, rather than being freshly cut. In Denver's dry climate this actually happens faster than in humid regions, but unseasoned wood still burns cooler, smokes more, and builds up creosote in your flue, which is a real problem across a six month heating season.

Answer

What kind of wood will I actually get delivered?

Our firewood is seasoned hardwood sourced locally near Denver, typically Gambel oak and cottonwood along with other hardwoods common to the Front Range, and the exact mix varies by supplier. Oak burns hotter and longer, while cottonwood is a lighter, faster burning wood good for quick fires or shoulder season nights.

Answer

Why does it matter that the wood is sourced locally instead of shipped in?

Firewood should always be bought near where it will be burned because hauling logs across state lines or even across the region can spread invasive pests like the emerald ash borer into new forests. Sourcing near Denver keeps our local tree canopy safer and also means the wood has already acclimated to our elevation and dryness before it reaches your driveway.

Answer

How does delivery actually work, do you stack it for me?

We deliver your order loose to the driveway rather than stacked, so you will want a plan for moving it to a dry storage spot, ideally up off the ground and away from direct snow exposure given our freeze thaw cycles between October and May.

Answer

What is a cord, and what do the quarter, third, and half cord options actually mean?

A full cord is 128 cubic feet of stacked wood, measured as 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long. Our quarter cord is roughly a quarter of that volume, the third cord is about a third, and the half cord is half, so you can scale your order to match how much of the six month Denver heating season you plan to burn through.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning wood I should know about?

The Denver metro area occasionally issues high pollution advisories during winter temperature inversions, which can include voluntary or mandatory no burn requests for wood stoves and fireplaces. It is worth checking local air quality advisories on cold, still days since Denver's mountain bowl setting tends to trap smoke close to the ground during inversions.
