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 burners typically need a quarter to half cord for the season, while those heating primarily with wood through Urbana's full six month cold window should plan for a full cord or more.

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.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails so air can move underneath, since Urbana's clay loam soil holds moisture and can wick dampness up into a low pile. Angle the stack slightly or cover just the top with a tarp, leaving the sides open so humidity from our wet springs and falls can escape rather than getting trapped against the wood.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory are your best bet for long overnight burns since they hold coals well through cold snaps, while ash and maple catch faster and are great for getting a fire established before adding denser splits. Mixing species in one fire, starting with maple or ash and building up to oak, gives you quick heat plus lasting coals.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your wood before late September if possible, since demand climbs fast once the first frost hits around October 19 and popular cord sizes can book out during the early cold snaps. Ordering ahead also gives you time to get everything stacked and settled before the ground starts freezing and driveway access gets trickier.

Wood Heat in Urbana

Urbana sits in growing zone 6a with a heating season that typically runs from mid October through mid April, bookended by a first frost around October 19 and a last frost near April 15. That is roughly six months where a wood stove or fireplace can be doing real work against Champaign County cold snaps. Local hardwoods like oak, hickory, ash, and hard maple are common around east central Illinois and each burns differently, with oak and hickory offering longer, hotter burns and maple lighting easier for quick evening fires. Our silty clay loam soils and humid summers mean freshly cut wood holds moisture longer than in drier climates, so proper seasoning time matters more here than in arid regions. Wood that has not fully seasoned will smoke, creosote your flue, and waste your money, which is why we deliver only wood that has already gone through a full seasoning cycle before it reaches your driveway.

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 an Urbana winter?

For homeowners who burn a few nights a week during the coldest stretch from December through February, a half cord to a full cord usually covers the season. If wood heat is your primary source through Urbana's full October to April cold window, plan on one to two full cords depending on your stove efficiency and how insulated your home is.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has been cut, split, and air dried long enough for internal moisture to drop to a burnable level, typically under 20 percent. Because Urbana summers run humid and our silty clay loam ground holds moisture, green wood cut locally takes longer to dry than in drier climates, so buying already seasoned wood saves you a season of waiting and gives you a cleaner, hotter burn right away.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I get with a delivery?

Expect a mix of hardwoods common to east central Illinois, mainly oak, hickory, ash, and hard maple. Oak and hickory tend to burn long and hot, good for overnight coals, while ash and maple catch quickly and work well for getting an evening fire going.

Answer

Is this wood actually sourced near Urbana, and does that matter?

Yes, our firewood is sourced locally rather than trucked in from far away. Moving firewood long distances is one of the main ways pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas, so buying and burning wood close to where it was cut helps protect the ash trees and hardwood stands still standing around Champaign County.

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 rather than stacking it for you. This keeps costs down and lets you decide exactly how you want it arranged once it is on site.

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 around a quarter of a full cord, so you can scale your order to match how much storage space and burning you actually plan to do this winter.

Answer

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

Champaign County and the City of Urbana generally allow residential wood burning in stoves and fireplaces, but it is worth checking for any air quality advisories during winter inversion periods, when smoke can linger closer to the ground on cold, still days. Burning only well seasoned wood reduces smoke output significantly and is one of the easiest ways to stay a good neighbor during those conditions.
