Great service. We ordered topsoil from Mulch Mound and the best experience. Thank you so much!

For a typical Grand Island heating season, most regular wood stove users should order one to two full cords, while occasional fireplace burners can often manage with a half cord or a 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.

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.

We have always spread our own mulch for the past 24 years. This was our first time with the Mulch Mound - things I liked: they have online ordering and provide a digital receipt which means you can remember how much you ordered (I always forget for the next year!), they were on time, they were able to deliver in 48 hours, they were generous with the portion (we got 9 yards and it felt like a FULL nine yards!), the driver was polite! We have ordered from reputable places, and there is always a little trash in the mulch. The mulch we recv'd from Mulch Mound had barely any... we were pleasant surprised!!! Color was great! Not to mention - the price was competitive and LOWER than other mulch places around. We will use again !! Highly recommend! Thanks Mulch Mound!

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your firewood off the ground on pallets or rails so air can circulate underneath, and keep the top covered but the sides open to let moisture escape. Grand Island's dry winter air helps wood season quickly once it is elevated and ventilated, but stacking directly on wet soil or grass traps moisture against the bottom rows and slows drying, especially through late fall when humidity briefly rises before the season's dry cold sets in.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Bur oak and hackberry both burn long and hot once properly seasoned, making them excellent choices for overnight fires during Grand Island's coldest January stretches. Honey locust lights faster and works well for kindling fires or shoulder season evenings in late September and early May when you want quick heat without loading the stove full. Mixing species in your firebox lets you match the burn to how cold the night actually is.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood well before the first frost date around September 26, since demand climbs fast once temperatures drop and seasoned supply can run short right when everyone else remembers they need it. Ordering in late summer also gives freshly split wood extra weeks to finish drying in Grand Island's warm, low humidity air before you actually need to burn it.

Wood Heat in Grand Island

Grand Island sits in zone 5b at nearly 1860 feet, and our heating season stretches from late September frost through mid May, meaning wood stoves and fireplaces here run for close to seven months a year. Locally sourced hardwoods like bur oak, hackberry, and honey locust are common along the Platte River valley and season well in Nebraska's drier continental air. Wood that has not seasoned properly will hiss, smoke, and creosote up a chimney fast in our long cold snaps. Because our loess soil region has cold, dry winters punctuated by hard freezes, properly dried firewood burns hotter and cleaner exactly when Grand Island households need it most. Buying wood that has already had a full spring and summer to season means you are ready before that September 26 frost date arrives.

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 will I actually burn in a typical Grand Island winter?

Households burning a wood stove several nights a week from late September through mid May generally use two to three full cords, while occasional fireplace users often get by on a half cord to a full cord for the season.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried for six months to a year after splitting, dropping its moisture content low enough to burn cleanly. In Grand Island's dry continental climate this seasoning happens reliably, but green wood will still smolder, smoke, and build dangerous creosote during our long cold snaps.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I get with my delivery?

Expect a mix of hardwoods common to the Platte River valley area, primarily bur oak, hackberry, and honey locust, all known for solid heat output and manageable smoke when properly seasoned.

Answer

Is this firewood actually local, and does that matter?

Yes, our firewood is sourced near Grand Island rather than trucked in from far away. Keeping firewood local helps prevent the spread of pests like the emerald ash borer, which can hitch a ride in wood moved long distances and devastate area trees.

Answer

How does delivery to my house actually work?

You choose a cord size, we schedule a delivery date, and the wood is dropped loose in your driveway. Stacking is not included, so plan on moving it to your storage spot yourself or with help.

Answer

What is a cord, and how do the smaller 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 is about a third of that stack, our third cord fills roughly a third, and our half cord gives you exactly half a full cord's worth of wood.

Answer

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

Grand Island does not typically issue frequent burn bans for wood stoves and fireplaces, but always check with local fire authorities during dry or windy stretches, since outdoor burning restrictions can shift quickly with conditions.
