How Much Firewood Do I Need?
For Florence's roughly four month burning season, occasional users typically need a quarter to third cord, while regular wood stove users should plan on a half to full cord to avoid running out before the last frost in early April.
What is a 1/4 Cord?
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.
What is a 1/3 Cord?
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.
What is a 1/2 Cord?
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.

We have always spread our own mulch for the past 24 years. This was our first time with the Mulch Mound - things I liked: they have online ordering and provide a digital receipt which means you can remember how much you ordered (I always forget for the next year!), they were on time, they were able to deliver in 48 hours, they were generous with the portion (we got 9 yards and it felt like a FULL nine yards!), the driver was polite! We have ordered from reputable places, and there is always a little trash in the mulch. The mulch we recv'd from Mulch Mound had barely any... we were pleasant surprised!!! Color was great! Not to mention - the price was competitive and LOWER than other mulch places around. We will use again !! Highly recommend! Thanks Mulch Mound!
While you are prepping your property for winter, consider topping off your beds with mulch or adding a stone border to handle Florence's sandy loam drainage and humid summers ahead.
Stack your firewood off the ground on a pallet or rack and keep it covered on top but open on the sides, since Florence's humidity means fully wrapped tarps can trap moisture and slow drying. A spot with good afternoon sun and airflow, away from your house's foundation, helps keep already seasoned wood from picking up dampness during our wetter stretches.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Oak burns long and steady, making it ideal for overnight fires, while hickory catches faster and throws more immediate heat, so mixing the two lets you control how a fire behaves. Listen for a hollow knock and look for cracked end grain, both signs your wood is properly seasoned and ready for a clean, low smoke burn.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Order your firewood in early fall, before the first frost typically arrives around November 11, so it has time to settle and you are not scrambling once cold nights hit. Buying ahead of peak season also means better availability on larger cord sizes before local supply tightens up in late fall.
Wood Heat in Florence
Florence sits in zone 8b, so our heating season is short but the humidity here is anything but mild, which means green wood struggles to dry out even when the weather turns cold between mid November and early April. Local oak, hickory, and pecan are the backbone of our supply, and all three need a real seasoning period before they burn clean and hot in a Pee Dee area fireplace or wood stove. Because our sandy loam soils drain fast but the air stays muggy, wood left uncovered on the ground can reabsorb moisture even after months of drying, which is why properly seasoned, split wood delivered ready to burn matters so much here. With only about four months of consistent burning weather, homeowners want fuel that lights fast and produces real heat instead of hissing, smoking green rounds.
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

Answer
How much firewood do I actually need to get through a Florence winter?
Most Florence households burning a few nights a week from mid November through early April go through a half cord to a full cord in a season. If you only use your fireplace occasionally for ambiance, a quarter or third cord is often plenty given our relatively mild, short winters.
Answer
What does seasoned firewood mean, and why does it matter here?
Seasoned means the wood has dried down to a usable moisture level, typically under 20 percent, instead of being freshly cut. In Florence's humid climate, green wood can take six months to a year to dry properly on its own, so buying wood that is already seasoned saves you a smoky, low heat fire and a chimney full of creosote.
Answer
What kind of wood will I actually get delivered?
Our firewood is a mix of oak, hickory, and pecan sourced from local suppliers near Florence. These hardwoods are dense, burn long, and are well suited to the wood stoves and fireplaces common in Pee Dee area homes.
Answer
Is this firewood really sourced locally, and does that matter?
Yes, all of our firewood comes from suppliers near Florence rather than being trucked in from out of state. Buying local firewood helps prevent the spread of invasive pests like the emerald ash borer, which can hitch a ride in firewood moved long distances and devastate local tree populations.
Answer
How does delivery actually work once I order?
You choose your cord size, we schedule a delivery date, and our truck brings the wood loose to your driveway. We do not stack it for you, so plan on having a tarp, rack, or clear space ready to move it into place yourself.
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 a quarter of a full cord, so you can size your order to match how much wood storage space you have and how often you plan to burn.
Answer
Are there any local rules about burning firewood or air quality I should know about?
South Carolina's Department of Environmental Services occasionally issues burn advisories during dry, still weather, so it is worth checking local conditions before large outdoor fires. For indoor fireplace and wood stove use, sticking to seasoned hardwood like ours minimizes smoke output and keeps you in good standing with typical residential burn guidelines.
