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.

For a typical Fredericksburg heating season running late October through late March, plan on a half cord for occasional use or up to a full cord if wood is your 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.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack firewood off the ground on pallets or rails to keep it away from Fredericksburg's clay loam soil, which holds moisture and can wick dampness into your bottom rows. Cover only the top of the stack, leaving the sides open so summer humidity can escape. A single row stacked two rows deep dries faster than a wide pile, especially through our muggy July and August months.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak takes longer to catch but holds coals impressively through a cold night, so use a few pieces of faster catching ash or lighter kindling to get your fire going before adding oak splits. A simple moisture meter reading below 20 percent tells you the wood is ready to burn clean without excess smoke or creosote buildup.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in late summer or early fall before the first frost typically hits Fredericksburg around October 27. Buying early means your wood has more time to finish seasoning in your stack and you avoid the fall rush when everyone else remembers winter is coming.

Wood Heat in Fredericksburg

Fredericksburg winters run from late October frost through late March, which means a full heating season of five months or more for homes relying on wood heat. Our region's clay loam soils and humid summers grow dense hardwoods like oak, hickory, and ash that burn hot and long once properly dried. Green or half seasoned wood struggles in this climate because Virginia's summer humidity slows the drying process, so wood that has not been seasoned a full six to twelve months will smoke and creosote up a chimney fast. We season our hardwood through a full Fredericksburg summer so moisture content drops before it ever reaches your driveway. That means less smoke, easier lighting, and more heat per load when the temperature drops toward freezing in November. Buying seasoned and local also protects the oak and ash trees lining Fredericksburg neighborhoods from pests that hitchhike in firewood hauled from other regions.

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 Fredericksburg winter?

Most Fredericksburg households burning a few nights a week from November through March use one half cord to a full cord per season, while daily wood stove users often go through one and a half to two full cords given our roughly five month heating window between the October and March frost dates.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried for at least six to twelve months after splitting, which matters in our humid Virginia climate because freshly cut wood holds too much moisture to burn cleanly, leading to smoky fires and creosote buildup in chimneys during long winter burns.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I get with a Fredericksburg delivery?

Expect a mix of local hardwoods common to this part of Virginia, primarily oak and hickory with some ash, all known for dense, long burning coals that hold heat well through cold overnight stretches.

Answer

Is your firewood actually sourced near Fredericksburg?

Yes, all our firewood comes from local sources near Fredericksburg, which matters because hauling firewood long distances is how pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas and threaten our region's ash trees.

Answer

How does delivery to my driveway actually work?

After you select your cord size and delivery window, our truck drops the wood loose directly in your driveway near your stacking area, and stacking itself is not included so plan for some time to move and stack it before wet weather sets in.

Answer

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

A full cord is 128 cubic feet stacked, measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long, so a half cord is roughly 64 cubic feet, a third cord about 43 cubic feet, and a quarter cord around 32 cubic feet, giving you flexible options depending on how much storage space and burning you plan for the season.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning firewood in Fredericksburg?

Fredericksburg does not currently restrict residential wood burning outright, but on high pollution advisory days in the region it is good practice to limit unnecessary burning, and well seasoned dry hardwood produces far less smoke than green wood regardless of conditions.
