Wonderful experience! They put the mulch exactly where we wanted. This mulch spread very easily and didn’t have the usual “mulch smell.” We will definitely use again!

For a typical Wasatch Front heating season running mid October through late April, plan on a half cord for light use and up to a full cord if you burn most nights.

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!
Great service. We ordered topsoil from Mulch Mound and the best experience. Thank you so much!
While you are prepping for winter, consider adding mulch or bark to insulate garden beds against Salt Lake City's clay soil and freeze thaw cycles, or bring in stone for a stable, mud free path to your new woodpile.
Service area
Stack your firewood off the ground on pallets or a rack so air can circulate underneath, since Salt Lake City's clay soil holds moisture near the surface even in a dry climate. Cover only the top of the stack, leaving the sides open, so trapped humidity does not encourage mold. A spot with morning sun and afternoon shade near your driveway usually dries and preserves wood best through the winter.
Oak burns long and hot with a dense coal bed, making it ideal for overnight burns during Salt Lake City's coldest stretches in December and January, while ash lights quickly and works well for building a fast morning fire. Test moisture by knocking two split pieces together, seasoned wood gives a sharp crack, green wood sounds dull and thuddy.
Order your firewood in late summer or early September, well before the October 15 average first frost, since demand climbs fast once temperatures drop and well seasoned wood needs time to finish drying in your storage area. Buying early also means you are not scrambling during an inversion advisory when everyone else in the valley wants a delivery at once.
Salt Lake City winters run long, with first frost around October 15 and last frost stretching into late April, so wood stoves and fireplaces here often work six months straight. At 4,226 feet elevation the air is thinner and drier than lower altitude cities, which actually helps firewood season faster once split, but it also means green wood burns poorly and throws off less heat when you need it most. Locally sourced oak, ash, and box elder are common in Wasatch Front woodpiles, each with different burn times and coaling qualities. Because our clay soils and dry climate slow tree growth, well seasoned hardwood is worth seeking out rather than settling for whatever is cheapest. Buying wood cut and dried near the valley also means it matches our low humidity conditions, so it will not shock and crack unpredictably in your stove like wood hauled in from a wetter region.
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.
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.
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.
