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

For most Los Alamos homes, a half cord covers a typical winter of regular evening fires, while full time wood heat users should budget for a full cord to get through the entire October to April season.

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 delivered firewood off the ground on pallets or rails so air can move underneath, since our dry climate helps wood cure but only if moisture from the soil is not wicking back up into the stack. Cover the top loosely with a tarp to block snow while leaving the sides open, and position the pile where afternoon sun and canyon breezes can reach it for the fastest continued drying.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

For a solid overnight burn, load with denser wood like oak once your fire is established on quicker starting piñon or juniper kindling. A simple moisture check is to knock two split logs together, a sharp crack means dry wood ready to burn, while a dull thud suggests it needs more time seasoning in our high desert air.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your winter supply before the first hard frost in mid October, since demand climbs fast once nighttime temperatures drop at our elevation. Ordering early also gives freshly delivered wood extra weeks to finish drying in our low humidity before you need it for the coldest part of the season.

Wood Heat in Los Alamos

At 7,300 feet, Los Alamos sees a long heating season that stretches from mid October frosts well into late April, so woodstoves and fireplaces get heavy use for months at a time. The dry mountain air here is actually an advantage for seasoning, since low humidity pulls moisture out of split logs faster than in muggier climates, but that same dryness means green or half seasoned wood will smoke and creosote a chimney fast. Local piñon and juniper are popular for their fragrance and coals, while oak and other hardwoods sourced from nearby stands burn hotter and longer for overnight loads. Because our canyon topography traps cold air in the evenings, a hot burning seasoned log matters more here than in flatter, milder towns. Buying wood already dried to the right moisture content saves homeowners from wasting BTUs boiling off water instead of heating the house.

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 does a typical Los Alamos household burn in a winter?

With our heating season running from mid October to late April, most households burning a stove several nights a week go through a half cord to a full cord, while those using firewood as a primary heat source in our high elevation cold often need more.

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, and in our dry, high altitude air that process happens efficiently, but green wood still needs months to cure. Burning unseasoned wood in a Los Alamos woodstove wastes heat on evaporating water and builds up creosote faster in our cold nightly temperatures.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I get with my delivery?

Expect a mix of local hardwoods sourced near Los Alamos, often including oak for long hot burns along with piñon and juniper, which are traditional favorites in northern New Mexico for their aroma and quick coaling.

Answer

Why is the wood sourced locally instead of shipped in from farther away?

Firewood should always be bought near where it is burned, since hauling logs long distances can spread invasive pests like the emerald ash borer into forests that have not seen them. Our wood comes from stands near Los Alamos, which keeps that risk contained.

Answer

How does delivery actually work at my house?

We schedule a delivery window, bring the load up by truck, and drop it loose in your driveway, since stacking is not part of the service, so plan on having help or time to stack it yourself afterward.

Answer

What is a cord, and how do the 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 about a quarter of that volume, the third cord and half cord scale up from there, and a full cord gives you the entire 128 cubic feet in one delivery.

Answer

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

Los Alamos can see periodic air quality advisories tied to winter inversions that trap smoke in the canyons, so it is worth checking local notices on high pollution days and making sure your wood is fully seasoned, since dry wood burns cleaner and produces less visible smoke.
