Most Detroit homes using wood heat as a supplement order 2 to 3 cords to cover the stretch from first frost to last frost, while primary wood heat households often need 4 or more cords to make it through the full 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. Smaller sizes are the same stack at a quarter, half, or three quarters of that volume.

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 a pallet or rack, since Detroit's damp fall and spring seasons can wick moisture up from the soil and undo months of seasoning. Leave the top loosely covered but the sides open to airflow, and position your stack away from the house to avoid pests. A stack in full sun with wind exposure dries and stays dry far better than one tucked against a shaded wall.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hard maple both burn long and hot once seasoned, making them good choices for overnight burns during Detroit's coldest stretches in January and February. Test a split by knocking two pieces together, a sharp crack means dry wood while a dull thud usually means it still has moisture to lose. Ash burns a bit faster but catches easily, so it works well for starting a fire before adding denser oak.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in late summer or early fall before the October frost hits, since demand climbs fast once temperatures drop and well seasoned wood becomes harder to find. Buying early also gives you time to stack and organize your supply before the first genuinely cold week arrives, rather than scrambling for delivery during a cold snap.

Wood Heat in Detroit

Detroit winters run long, with a first frost around October 1 and cold weather often lingering past the May 10 last frost date, which means many households are feeding a wood stove or fireplace for six months or more. Southeast Michigan's humidity and clay heavy soils keep freshly cut wood from drying out on their own, so wood that has not been properly seasoned tends to hiss, smoke, and gum up chimneys instead of throwing real heat. Local hardwoods like oak, hard maple, and ash have long been common in the Detroit area's older tree canopy, and they season into dense, long burning firewood when given time to dry. Because Detroit's elevation is modest and the region sits close to the Great Lakes, damp air lingers into fall, so wood cut and split just a few weeks before a cold snap will not be ready when you need it. Buying seasoned hardwood that has already had months to dry means you are heating your home instead of trying to boil water out of your own logs. That matters every single week of a Michigan winter that stretches well past what most other regions deal with.

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 Detroit winter?

That depends on how you are using it. A household burning most evenings from October through April as a primary heat source often goes through 3 to 4 full cords, while a family using an occasional fireplace fire on weekends might only need a quarter or half cord to feel comfortable through the season.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has been split and dried for months until its moisture content drops low enough to burn cleanly. In Detroit's humid, lake effect air, unseasoned wood dries much more slowly than in drier climates, so buying wood that is already seasoned saves you from smoky fires and creosote buildup all winter.

Answer

What kind of wood will I actually get delivered?

Our seasoned hardwood mix pulls from species common to the Detroit area's tree stock, primarily oak, hard maple, and ash, all of which are dense hardwoods that burn hot and steady once properly dried.

Answer

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

Yes, all of our firewood is sourced locally near Detroit. Keeping firewood local is important because hauling wood long distances is one of the main ways pests like the emerald ash borer spread to new areas, which has already devastated ash trees across Michigan.

Answer

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

We deliver your order loose to your driveway on the scheduled date, but stacking is not included, so you will want to have a spot picked out and be ready to move it to your woodpile.

Answer

What is the difference between a quarter cord, half cord, and full cord?

A full cord is a stack measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long, totaling 128 cubic feet. A quarter cord, half cord, and three quarter cord are simply fractions of that same measurement, so you can order the amount that fits your storage space and how much you burn.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning wood in the Detroit area?

Southeast Michigan is part of a region that occasionally issues air quality advisories during stagnant weather, so it is worth checking local air quality alerts on high pollution days before lighting an outdoor fire, though indoor wood stove and fireplace use is standard practice throughout Detroit winters.
