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.

Placing an order online was so easy. Delivery was on time. When the driver realized we had a newly poured driveway they erred on the side of caution and opted not ti drive in it. The company even sent me a message explaining that call. Would recommend!

For most Hillsdale homes, one to two full cords covers a typical heating season, while frequent daily burners should plan closer to three cords to avoid running short in February.

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 property for winter, consider pairing your firewood order with mulch or stone from our Hillsdale material selection to protect garden beds through the clay loam freeze thaw cycles ahead.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or a rack, with the bark side up to shed moisture, and leave it uncovered on the sides for airflow while covering only the top. Hillsdale's humid summers and wet winters mean poor air circulation invites mold and slows seasoning, so a spot with sun and wind exposure, away from the house foundation, works best for long term storage.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak burns long and steady, ideal for overnight fires, while ash lights easily and works well for getting a fire started fast. Test moisture by checking for a dull thud when two pieces are knocked together and looking for radial cracks in the end grain, both signs the wood is properly seasoned and ready to burn clean in your stove.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in late summer or early fall, well before the October 29 frost date, since seasoned hardwood supply tightens once cold weather actually arrives. Buying early also gives freshly delivered wood extra weeks to finish drying in your own storage setup before you need it for the first real cold snap of the Hillsdale winter.

Wood Heat in Hillsdale

Hillsdale sits in growing zone 7a with a heating season that typically runs from late October through mid April, meaning many households rely on wood stoves or fireplaces for well over five months. Clay loam soils and the humid Bergen County air mean freshly cut wood holds moisture stubbornly, so burning green wood in a Hillsdale fireplace usually means more creosote and a smokier, less efficient fire. Local hardwoods like oak, ash, and hard maple are common in this part of New Jersey, and they need six months to a year of proper seasoning before they burn clean. Our wood is split and seasoned in advance so it is ready for that first cold snap around the October 29 frost date. Because Hillsdale winters can bring damp, raw cold rather than dry cold, seasoned wood matters even more here than in drier climates.

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 Hillsdale winter?

Households burning a few nights a week from late October through mid April often use one to two full cords, while daily burners can go through two to three cords. Our fraction sizes let you buy what fits your usage instead of over ordering.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has been split and air dried for six months to a year until its internal moisture drops low enough to burn cleanly. In Hillsdale's humid summers and damp winters, unseasoned wood holds water longer than it would in a drier climate, so seasoning is especially important for a smoke free, efficient fire.

Answer

What kind of wood will I get with a Hillsdale delivery?

Expect a mix of oak, ash, and hard maple, the hardwoods most commonly harvested and seasoned in this part of northern New Jersey. These species burn hot and long, which suits Hillsdale's extended heating season.

Answer

Is this wood actually sourced near Hillsdale?

Yes, our firewood is sourced locally near Hillsdale rather than trucked in from far away. Buying local matters because moving firewood long distances can spread invasive pests like the emerald ash borer, which has already impacted ash trees across New Jersey.

Answer

How does delivery to my driveway work?

Wood is delivered loose and dumped at your driveway, not stacked, so you will want a plan for moving it to its final storage spot. This keeps delivery efficient and keeps costs down for Hillsdale customers.

Answer

What is the difference between a quarter 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. Our quarter cord is one quarter of that volume, our third cord and half cord scale up from there, giving Hillsdale homeowners flexible options depending on woodpile space and how much heating they need to cover.

Answer

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

Bergen County occasionally issues air quality advisories during stagnant winter weather, so it is worth checking local notices on high pollution days and avoiding unnecessary burning during those windows. Keeping your wood well seasoned also reduces the smoke output that neighbors and local air quality monitors notice most.
