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.

Most Highland households burning several nights a week should plan on one to two full cords to comfortably last through the October to April heating 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. 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.

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 firewood off bare ground on a pallet or rack, since Highland's clay loam soil holds moisture that will wick straight up into your bottom rows if they sit directly on the earth. Leave a few inches of space between rows for airflow, and top the stack with a cover that shields it from rain and snow but leaves the sides open so trapped humidity can still escape.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hard maple both take a slower, steadier flame to get going but reward you with long, hot burns that carry through a cold Highland night, so start fires with smaller ash splits or kindling before adding your densest pieces. A quick moisture check is simple too, split a piece open and press a moisture meter to the fresh face, aiming for a reading near 20 percent before you count it as ready to burn.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in late summer or early fall rather than waiting for the first cold snap, since Highland's first frost typically arrives around October 28 and demand for seasoned wood spikes right before that date. Buying early also gives any borderline splits extra weeks to finish drying in your own stack before you need them for a real fire.

Wood Heat in Highland

Highland sits in growing zone 6a with a heating season that stretches from late October frost through mid April, meaning many households rely on a wood stove or fireplace for four to five months straight. Northwest Indiana's clay loam ground holds moisture close to the surface, which is exactly why unseasoned wood struggles to dry out here and why buying properly seasoned hardwood matters so much before the first hard freeze. Our supply leans on oak, hard maple, and ash cut from woodlots near Highland, species that burn hot and steady through Lake County's damp, gray winters. Wood that has not dried through a full summer holds excess moisture that turns into creosote buildup and smoky, inefficient fires once the cold settles in for good. Because our region carries humidity that lingers into fall, we season our splits long enough that they are ready to burn the day they hit your driveway, not months later.

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 does a typical Highland winter actually require?

A household using a wood stove as a main heat source through Highland's long October to April season typically burns two to three full cords, while those who burn occasionally on cold nights often get through winter on a half cord to a full cord.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried for months after splitting until its moisture content drops low enough to burn cleanly, which matters in Highland because our clay loam soil and humid air keep freshly cut wood damp far longer than it would take in a drier climate.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I actually get delivered?

Expect a mix of oak, hard maple, and ash sourced from woodlots near Highland, all species known for dense, long burning heat that suits the cold stretches typical of a Lake County winter.

Answer

Is this firewood really sourced locally, and does that matter?

Yes, our firewood comes from within the local region rather than being trucked in from far away, which matters because moving firewood long distances is one of the main ways pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas.

Answer

How does delivery actually work once I place an order?

We schedule a delivery date, bring the wood to your address, and unload it loose in the driveway, since stacking is not part of the delivery service.

Answer

What is a cord, and how do the smaller sizes compare?

A full cord is 128 cubic feet of stacked wood, measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long, and our quarter, third, and half cord options are simply proportional fractions of that same stacked volume for households that need less on hand at once.

Answer

Are there local rules I should know about before burning regularly?

Northwest Indiana falls within the Chicago area's broader air quality monitoring region, so on rare winter days with poor air quality advisories it is worth checking local reports before running a wood stove all day, though normal seasonal burning is standard practice throughout Highland.
