Ordered Dirt. Received Dirt. Would Buy Again.

For most Arlington homes using a fireplace occasionally through the winter, a half cord is a reasonable starting point, while daily burners should plan for a full cord to cover the full frost to frost season.

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.

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!

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on a pallet or rack to keep it away from Arlington's clay soil, which holds moisture and can wick dampness up into your bottom layers. Leave gaps between rows for airflow and cover just the top of the stack, keeping the sides open so humid air can escape rather than get trapped against the wood.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory, the two hardwoods most common in our local deliveries, burn hot and slow once seasoned, making them ideal for overnight burns on the coldest Arlington nights. Start fires with smaller kindling pieces and let the coal bed build before adding larger splits, since dense hardwood needs a hot base to catch properly.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood well before Arlington's first frost, which typically lands around November 5, since demand for seasoned wood climbs fast once temperatures drop. Buying early also means your stack has extra weeks to acclimate to your storage spot before you actually need to burn through the coldest stretch of the season.'

Wood Heat in Arlington

Arlington sits in zone 7b with a heating season that typically runs from early November through early April, giving households roughly five months of cold nights to plan for. Local clay soils and humid Virginia summers actually slow down natural wood drying, which means firewood cut just months ago is rarely ready to burn efficiently. Our seasoned hardwood, mostly oak and hickory sourced near Arlington, is dried to a low enough moisture content to burn hot and clean even on damp Piedmont evenings. Green or under seasoned wood in this climate smokes more, wastes heat, and builds up creosote faster because of the region's summer humidity. Buying wood that has already gone through a proper seasoning cycle matters more here than in drier climates. That is why every load we deliver has already had its time to dry 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 Arlington winter?

With a frost window running from around November 5 to April 5, most Arlington homes burning a few nights a week for supplemental heat use somewhere between a half cord and a full cord per season. Households relying on a wood stove as a primary heat source often go through one to two full cords given our roughly five month cold stretch.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has been cut, split, and dried long enough that its internal moisture content has dropped to a burnable range, usually under 20 percent. In Arlington's humid climate, unseasoned wood can take a full year or more to dry properly on its own, so buying wood that is already seasoned saves you a smoky, low heat fire and cuts down on creosote buildup in your chimney.

Answer

What kind of wood will I actually get delivered?

Our loads are sourced locally near Arlington and typically include oak and hickory, both dense hardwoods that are common in this part of Virginia and known for burning long and hot once properly seasoned.

Answer

Why does it matter if the firewood is sourced locally?

Firewood should always be bought near where it is burned because hauling wood long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread from one region to another. Our wood is sourced near Arlington specifically to avoid that risk to local trees.

Answer

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

We deliver your order loose to the driveway on the schedule you choose, but stacking is not included, so you will want a clear, dry spot ready to go and a plan to move it yourself once it arrives.

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 half that volume, a third cord is roughly 43 cubic feet, and a quarter cord is about 32 cubic feet, so you can scale your order based on how much storage space and burning you expect this season.

Answer

Is there anything I need to know about local burn rules in Arlington?

Arlington participates in regional air quality programs through the Metropolitan Washington area, so on Code Orange or Code Red air quality days it is worth checking local advisories before lighting an outdoor or recreational fire, even though seasoned indoor wood stove use is generally unaffected.
