About this firewood

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.

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

For a typical West Valley City heating season running October through April, plan on a half cord for occasional fires and up to a full cord or more if your stove is a primary heat source.

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.

Areas we deliver firewood in West Valley City, Utah

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on a pallet or rack so air can move underneath, since West Valley City's dry climate helps wood season quickly but snowmelt and slush can still soak the bottom rows. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, angle your stack slightly, and cover just the top with a tarp rather than wrapping the whole pile so moisture can still escape the sides.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and ash both hold coals well, which makes them ideal for an overnight burn during a hard January freeze, while box elder catches faster and works better for a quick evening fire. Test a split by knocking two pieces together, a sharp crack usually means it is dry enough, while a dull thud suggests more seasoning time is needed.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood before the first frost hits around October 22, since demand climbs fast once temperatures drop and popular cord sizes can sell out during the first real cold snap. Ordering in September gives your wood extra weeks to finish settling in the driveway before you actually need it.

Wood Heat in West Valley City

West Valley City sits at 4,304 feet with a heating season that stretches from the first frost around October 22 to the last frost near April 21, which means many households are running wood stoves or fireplace inserts for six months or more. At this elevation the air runs dry, which is good news for seasoning wood but bad news if you buy green wood expecting it to dry out fast enough for a Wasatch Front cold snap. Locally sourced oak, ash, and box elder are common in our region, and each burns differently, so knowing your species helps you plan your burn schedule. Seasoned wood matters here because unseasoned logs smoke heavily, waste heat output, and build creosote faster in the cold, dry inversions that settle over the Salt Lake Valley each winter. Buying wood that has already dried down near West Valley City means you are ready to burn the moment that October chill arrives instead of waiting weeks for green wood to catch up.

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 West Valley City winter?

Most households burning several nights a week from late October through April use somewhere between one and two full cords, while those using a wood stove as a primary heat source often need more. Your exact number depends on how often you burn and how well your home holds heat, but starting with a half cord and reordering is a safe way to test your household's pace.

Answer

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

Seasoned firewood has been dried down to a lower moisture content before delivery, which matters in West Valley City because our dry, high elevation air actually helps wood season well once it is split, but green wood still needs months to catch up. Burning green wood in our cold, dry winters means more smoke, less heat, and faster creosote buildup in your chimney.

Answer

What kind of wood species will I get with a delivery?

Our seasoned hardwood mix pulled from near West Valley City typically includes oak and ash, both of which burn hot and steady, along with some box elder, which lights easily and works well for shoulder season fires. Oak and ash tend to be the backbone of a cold January burn, while box elder is a nice complement for milder nights.

Answer

Why does it matter that the wood is sourced locally instead of shipped in?

Firewood should always be bought near where it will be burned because hauling logs long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas. Our wood is sourced near West Valley City, which keeps it local to the region it is burned in and helps protect the ash and other hardwoods already growing here.

Answer

How does delivery to my driveway actually work?

We deliver your order loose to the driveway rather than stacked, so you will want a plan for moving and stacking it once it arrives, ideally somewhere with good airflow and some cover from snow. Loose delivery keeps costs down and lets you stack the wood exactly where it fits your yard.

Answer

What is the difference between a quarter 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. Our quarter cord, third cord, and half cord options are simply fractions of that same measurement, so a half cord is 64 cubic feet and a quarter cord is 32 cubic feet, letting you order the exact amount that fits your storage space and burn habits.

Answer

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

Salt Lake County, which includes West Valley City, participates in seasonal air quality programs during winter inversions, and wood burning restrictions can be issued on days when pollution builds up in the valley. Checking local air quality advisories before lighting a fire on a mandatory action day is a good habit during our stagnant winter inversion periods.
