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!

Occasional weekend fire households typically need a quarter to a half cord for the Peoria season, while regular wood heat users should plan on a full cord to comfortably cover the October through April stretch.

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.

While you are prepping for winter, check out our regional mulch and soil offerings to refresh garden beds before the ground freezes, since Peoria's silt loam responds well to a fall layer of compost or mulch ahead of the first hard frost.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack firewood off the ground on pallets or a rack so air can move underneath, and keep the top covered but the sides open to airflow, since Peoria's humid summers and wet fall weather can invite mold if wood is left in a sealed tarp. Position your stack a few feet from the house to reduce pest access, and rotate older wood to the front so it burns before newer deliveries.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory take longer to catch than softer woods, so start fires with smaller kindling pieces and let the coal bed build before adding a full split log. Hard maple burns a bit faster and is a good choice for evening fires when you want steady heat without tending the stove all night, which matters during Peoria's longer cold stretches.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in late summer or early fall before the rush that hits once temperatures drop and the first frost approaches around October 10. Buying early also gives any slightly less dry splits extra weeks to finish drying in your own stack before the coldest part of the Peoria winter arrives.

Wood Heat in Peoria

Peoria sits in zone 5b with a heating season that typically runs from mid October through late April, meaning many homes rely on a wood stove or fireplace for six months or more. That long window makes truly seasoned wood essential, because green or partly dried logs will smolder, smoke up a chimney, and waste heat during our coldest stretches. Our firewood is split and dried to the low moisture levels that burn hot and clean in central Illinois humidity, which tends to run higher in summer and fall right when wood is curing. Local hardwoods like oak, hickory, and hard maple are common around Peoria and are prized for long, steady burns through overnight cold snaps. Because the wood is seasoned before it ever reaches your driveway, you get a fire that lights easier and produces less creosote buildup over a long Peoria winter.

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 Peoria winter?

Most Peoria households that burn a few nights a week from October through April go through one half cord to a full cord, while daily wood heat users often need one and a half to two full cords. Our winters here regularly bring stretches of single digit lows, so households leaning on wood heat as a primary source should plan on the higher end.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has been split and air dried until its internal moisture is low enough to burn efficiently, generally under 20 percent. In central Illinois, summer humidity slows natural drying, so wood cut and split in spring needs a full season outdoors before it is ready, which is exactly the timeline our seasoned firewood follows before it reaches you.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I get with a Peoria delivery?

Expect a mix of hardwoods common to this part of Illinois, primarily oak, hickory, and hard maple, all sourced locally near Peoria. These species are dense and burn long and hot, which suits the extended heating season we get at our elevation and latitude.

Answer

Why does it matter that the firewood is sourced locally instead of trucked in from farther away?

Firewood should always be bought and burned near where it was cut because hauling it long distances can spread invasive pests like the emerald ash borer into new areas. Sourcing near Peoria keeps our local forests healthier and also means the wood has been seasoning in conditions similar to ours, so it burns the way you expect.

Answer

How does delivery actually work, will someone stack it for me?

We deliver your firewood loose to your driveway, dumped in a pile rather than stacked, so you will want to have your stacking spot cleared and ready before the truck arrives. Stacking is not included, but the loose delivery lets you organize the wood exactly where it is most convenient for your home.

Answer

What is the difference between a quarter cord, a third cord, a half cord, and a full cord?

A full cord is 128 cubic feet of stacked wood, measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long. A half cord is roughly half that volume, a third cord is about a third, and a quarter cord is a smaller stack good for occasional weekend fires, so you can scale your order to how often you actually burn through a Peoria winter.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning firewood outdoors or in older Peoria neighborhoods?

Peoria households with older homes and older chimneys should have flues inspected before heavy winter use, since creosote buildup from moisture or improperly seasoned wood is a common cause of chimney fires locally. Sticking to well seasoned hardwood and having your flue checked each fall helps keep both indoor air and chimney function safe through our long burning season.
