About this firewood

A third of a cord of seasoned hardwood, 43 cubic feet, split and ready to burn. A steady size for regular weekend fires once the cold sets in.

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!

For most Atlanta homes using a fireplace a few times a week through the winter, a half cord to full cord covers the season comfortably from first frost to last.

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.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

While you are prepping for winter, consider pairing your firewood order with mulch or soil from our Atlanta regional page to protect garden beds through the clay heavy ground and cold snaps ahead.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on a pallet or rack, and keep it under a simple cover that shields the top while leaving the sides open. Atlanta's humidity means airflow matters more than a fully enclosed shed, since trapped moisture invites mold and slows seasoning even further.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak burns long and steady, making it ideal for overnight fires, while hickory lights fast and throws strong heat for quick evening warmth. Mixing the two in one fire gives you a hot start from the hickory with the oak carrying the coals through the night.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood well before the first frost around November 10, since demand climbs fast once temperatures drop and seasoned wood takes time to source properly. Buying early also gives your stack a few extra weeks to settle and dry further in the driveway before you need it.

Wood Heat in Atlanta

Atlanta winters run short but damp, with the real burning window falling between the first frost around November 10 and the last frost near April 1. That stretch of high humidity and clay soil moisture means unseasoned wood struggles to dry out once its cut, so starting with properly seasoned hardwood is essential if you want fires that light easily and burn clean. Local oak, hickory, and red maple hold up well in this climate once seasoned, giving longer burn times and steadier heat through the cooler nights. Because Atlanta rarely sees deep prolonged cold, a well seasoned cord goes further than in harsher climates, but only if the wood was dried correctly before delivery. Green wood in this humidity smokes heavily, burns fast, and creates more creosote buildup in chimneys, which is the last thing you want during our shorter heating season.

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 Atlanta winter?

Most Atlanta households burning a few nights a week between November and April use somewhere between a half cord and a full cord. If your fireplace is your main heat source rather than a supplemental one, plan closer to a full cord to cover the entire frost window.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has been dried down to a low moisture content, typically under 20 percent, before splitting and delivery. In Atlanta's humid climate, green wood takes much longer to dry on its own, so buying pre seasoned wood saves you a season of frustration with smoky, hard to light fires.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I get in my delivery?

Expect a mix of local hardwoods common to the Atlanta area, mainly oak, hickory, and red maple, all known for solid heat output and manageable smoke once properly seasoned.

Answer

Is this firewood actually sourced near Atlanta?

Yes, all of our firewood is sourced locally near Atlanta. Buying local firewood matters because transporting wood long distances can spread invasive pests like the emerald ash borer into new forests, so keeping wood local protects the trees around your own neighborhood.

Answer

How does delivery actually work?

We deliver your chosen cord size loose to your driveway. Stacking is not included, so plan to have space cleared and ready, ideally somewhere shaded and off the ground to help the wood stay dry through Atlanta's humid stretches.

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 a third, and a quarter cord is a quarter of a full cord, so you can scale your order to match how much you burn each winter.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning wood in Atlanta?

The Atlanta region occasionally issues air quality alerts during winter inversions, so it is worth checking local advisories on high pollution days before lighting a fire. Beyond that, sticking with seasoned hardwood instead of green wood or trash naturally cuts down on excess smoke.
