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 most Hampton homes, a half cord covers a casual fireplace season, while full time wood heat users should order a full cord to make it through our entire frost window without running short.

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 your yard for winter, pair your firewood order with mulch or soil from our Hampton region page to protect garden beds through the same cold months.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your firewood off the ground on a pallet or rack, since Hampton's humid air and sandy loam soil hold moisture that can wick up into your woodpile. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, cover only the top with a tarp, and keep the sides open so trapped humidity does not undo the seasoning you already paid for.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Local oak burns long and hot but takes a bit longer to catch, so start your fire with smaller hickory splits or kindling before adding oak logs. A quick moisture check is to knock two pieces together, well seasoned wood gives a sharp crack instead of a dull thud, a good sign it is ready for a Hampton evening fire.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood well before Hampton's first frost around mid November, since demand climbs fast once temperatures drop and popular cord sizes can run behind on delivery scheduling. Ordering in early fall also gives freshly split wood extra weeks to finish seasoning in your own storage setup before you need it.

Wood Heat in Hampton

Hampton winters run from roughly mid November to mid April, and while Tidewater weather rarely turns brutal, the humid coastal air makes unseasoned wood a real headache. Green wood soaks up moisture from our sandy loam ground and salt heavy air, so it hisses, smokes, and throws less heat exactly when you need it most. Our firewood is dried down properly before it reaches you, so it lights fast and burns hot even on damp Hampton evenings off the water. Local oak and hickory are the backbone of our mix because they hold up well in this climate and give long, steady burns. Buying wood that has already adjusted to Hampton humidity means fewer cold nights spent fighting a smoldering fire.

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 does a typical Hampton home burn in a winter?

Most Hampton households using a fireplace a few nights a week get through a half cord to a full cord between mid November and mid April. If wood heat is your primary source through our full heating season, plan closer to two full cords, especially during the coldest stretches in January.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried enough that its moisture content has dropped well below freshly cut green wood. In Hampton's humid, coastal climate, unseasoned wood struggles to dry on its own and often stays damp in storage, so buying wood that is already seasoned saves you a season of smoky, low heat fires.

Answer

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

Expect a mix dominated by local oak and hickory, with some sweetgum and maple depending on availability. These are the hardwoods that grow well in our sandy loam soil and provide dense, long burning fuel suited to Tidewater winters.

Answer

Is this firewood actually sourced near Hampton, and does that matter?

Yes, our wood is sourced locally near Hampton rather than trucked in from far away. Moving firewood long distances is a major way pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas, so buying local and burning local protects the trees in your own neighborhood.

Answer

How does firewood delivery actually work?

You choose your cord size, schedule a delivery date, and we drop the wood loose in your driveway. Stacking is not included, so plan to move it to a dry storage spot within a day or two, especially before rain rolls in off the Chesapeake.

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, measured as a stack 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long. A half cord is half that volume, a third cord is roughly one third, and a quarter cord is a quarter of a full cord, so you can scale your order to match how much you actually burn in a Hampton season.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning firewood in Hampton?

Hampton falls under Virginia's open burning regulations, and outdoor burning can be restricted during air quality advisories in the Hampton Roads region on especially still, humid days. Indoor fireplace and wood stove use is not affected by these advisories, but it is worth checking local notices if you plan to burn outdoors.
