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 most Janesville households, a half cord covers a season of regular weekend and evening fires, while full time wood heat users should plan on a full cord to make it comfortably through to the late April thaw.
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.

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, check out our mulch and soil options sourced for Janesville's silt loam, ideal for insulating garden beds before the ground freezes.
Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails so Rock County's spring thaw and summer humidity do not wick moisture back into the bottom rows. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, and cover only the top with a tarp, leaving the sides open so trapped moisture can escape rather than condensing and rotting your split logs before you even get to burn them.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Oak and hickory from around Janesville take longer to catch but throw steady, long lasting heat once going, so use faster burning splits or kindling to get your fire started before adding the denser pieces. A quick moisture meter check should read below 20 percent before you count wood as truly ready to burn.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Order your cord well before the first frost typically arrives around October 9, since demand climbs fast once temperatures drop and delivery slots fill quickly. Buying in late summer or early fall also gives any slightly under seasoned splits extra weeks to dry before you actually need them for heat.
Wood Heat in Janesville
Janesville sits in growing zone 5b at 837 feet elevation, and with first frost landing around October 9 and last frost lingering until April 28, that is a long stretch of cold nights that keep wood stoves and fireplaces busy. Local hardwoods like oak, hickory, and hard maple are common in the woodlots around Rock County, and these species need six months to a year of proper seasoning before they burn clean. Green or partially dried wood in this climate creates heavy creosote buildup because the moisture has nowhere to go once the humid summer air gives way to damp fall weather. Seasoned hardwood cut and split ahead of time burns hotter, lights easier, and produces far less smoke on those long January evenings. Buying wood that has already gone through a proper drying cycle means your first cold snap does not catch you burning wet logs.
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 does a typical Janesville winter actually require?
With a heating season that stretches from early October frost through late April, a household burning several nights a week in a wood stove often goes through half a cord to a full cord. Occasional fireplace users with milder use might only need a quarter to a third of a cord to get through to spring.
Answer
What does seasoned firewood mean and why does it matter here?
Seasoned means the wood has dried for months after splitting, dropping its moisture content low enough to burn efficiently. In our humid summers and cold, damp falls, unseasoned wood simply will not dry fast enough before the first hard freeze, so buying pre-seasoned hardwood is the only reliable way to avoid smoky, creosote heavy fires all winter.
Answer
What kind of wood should I expect in my delivery?
Our loads are sourced from local mixed hardwood stands around Janesville, typically oak, hickory, and hard maple, all species known for dense, long burning coals that hold heat through overnight cold snaps.
Answer
Is this firewood actually local, and does that matter?
Yes, everything is sourced near Janesville rather than trucked in from distant regions. Keeping firewood local is important because moving wood long distances is one of the main ways pests like the emerald ash borer spread to new areas, putting more of Rock County's trees at risk.
Answer
How does delivery to my driveway actually work?
You choose your cord size and a delivery date, and our truck drops the wood loose at your driveway. Stacking is not included, so plan on moving it to your storage spot yourself, ideally soon after drop off before winter weather sets in.
Answer
What is a cord, and how do your smaller sizes compare?
A full cord is 128 cubic feet stacked, measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long. Our quarter cord is roughly a quarter of that volume, our third cord about a third, and our half cord half of a full stacked cord, so you can match your order to how much wood storage space or heating need you actually have.
Answer
Are there any local rules about burning wood in Janesville?
Rock County occasionally issues air quality advisories during winter inversions, so it is worth checking local notices on high pollution days and holding off on unnecessary burning. Sticking to fully seasoned hardwood also cuts down on the smoke output that these advisories are meant to address.
