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?
Most Overland Park households burning a few nights a week get through the season on a half cord to a full cord, while occasional fireplace use is often covered by a quarter or third cord.
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 your property for the cold season, pair your firewood order with mulch or soil from our Overland Park regional page to protect garden beds before that October frost arrives.
Stack your wood off the ground on a pallet or rack so air can move underneath, and keep it away from your house foundation to avoid inviting pests. In our humid summers followed by dry cold snaps, a simple cover over the top that leaves the sides open helps the wood shed rain while still allowing airflow, keeping it burn ready through the whole heating season.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Before burning a new load, do a quick check by splitting a piece and looking at the end grain. If it looks dark and dry with visible cracks radiating outward, it is properly seasoned. Oak and hickory both burn slow and hot once dry, making them ideal for overnight fires during the coldest stretch of a Kansas winter.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Order your firewood in September or early October, well before that October 20 first frost date, so it is sitting ready in your driveway before the first genuinely cold night hits. Waiting until temperatures drop often means longer wait times as everyone in Overland Park scrambles for delivery at once.
Wood Heat in Overland Park
Overland Park winters stretch from that mid October frost in late October to the mid April thaw, which adds up to a long stretch of nights cold enough to run a wood stove or fireplace most evenings. Kansas humidity swings between muggy summers and dry winter cold snaps, and wood that has not been properly seasoned struggles to burn hot in that damp air, producing more creosote and smoke. Our firewood is split and air dried well ahead of delivery so the moisture content is low enough to catch fast and burn clean through a Johnson County cold snap. Local oak and hickory are common in this region and both hold heat well once seasoned, which matters when you are trying to keep a living room warm on a January night near zero. Buying wood that has already dried down means you are not fighting green wood while the temperature drops outside.
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.

Answer
How much firewood will I actually need to get through an Overland Park winter?
If you burn a few nights a week from late October through mid April, a half cord to a full cord usually covers a typical season. Homeowners who rely on wood heat daily during the coldest stretch often go through a full cord or more, while occasional weekend fires might only need a quarter cord.
Answer
What does seasoned firewood mean and why does it matter here?
Seasoned means the wood has dried down to a low moisture content instead of being freshly cut and green. In our climate, seasoned wood lights faster, burns hotter, and produces far less creosote buildup than green wood, which matters when you are running a stove through a long cold season.
Answer
What kind of wood should I expect in my delivery?
Expect a mix of hardwoods common to this part of Kansas, primarily oak and hickory, both known for dense, long burning heat once properly seasoned.
Answer
Is this firewood actually sourced locally, and does that matter?
Yes, our wood is sourced near Overland Park rather than trucked in from far away. Keeping firewood local helps stop the spread of pests like the emerald ash borer, which can hitch a ride in wood moved long distances and devastate trees in a new area.
Answer
How does delivery actually work?
You select a cord size, schedule a delivery window, and we bring the wood directly to your driveway loose. Stacking is not included, so plan to move it to your storage spot once it arrives.
Answer
What is the difference between a quarter cord, a half cord, and a full cord?
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 is about a third, and our half cord is exactly half, so you can size your order to match how much wood storage space and burning you actually have.
Answer
Are there any local rules I should know about burning firewood?
Kansas City area air quality advisories occasionally ask residents to limit outdoor burning during stagnant air conditions, so it is worth checking local advisories on high pollution days, though indoor wood stove and fireplace use is generally unaffected.
