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.
The website to order is super easy to use. Pick a mulch, date/time/driveway location of the delivery and that’s it. A few days later there was a nice mound of mulch in my driveway. Great service - just as promised.

How Much Firewood Do I Need?
For an average Lima winter, plan on a half cord for occasional use and up to a full cord or more if firewood is a regular part of your heating routine.
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.

Really appreciate the care and follow thru that this company had with our order. A hiccup came up but they were quick to respond and address all concerns, which made our garden day a success! Thank you for your prompt care.
While you are prepping the yard for winter, pair your firewood order with a load of mulch or topsoil from our Lima area page to protect garden beds through the same long frost window.
Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails, since Lima's silt loam soil holds moisture and wicks it right into a bottom row sitting on bare earth. Leave gaps between rows for airflow and cover only the top with a tarp, keeping the sides open so humidity from our wet summers and falls can keep escaping instead of getting trapped against the stack.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Oak and hickory from around Lima burn slow and hot, making them great for overnight coals, while ash lights faster and is a good choice for building a quick starter fire before adding denser splits. If you are unsure whether a piece is dry enough, a simple moisture meter reading under 20 percent means it is ready to burn cleanly.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Order your firewood well before the October 16 average first frost date, since demand climbs fast once temperatures drop and well seasoned wood takes months to prepare properly. Buying in late summer also gives freshly delivered splits extra weeks to finish drying in Lima's humid air before you actually need to burn them.
Wood Heat in Lima
Lima winters run long, with a first frost around October 16 and a last frost not until April 25, which means your stove or fireplace may be working for six months straight. That kind of stretch demands wood that is truly seasoned, not just cut and split last month. Our local hardwoods, mostly oak, hickory, and ash sourced from woodlots near Lima, are dried down to a proper burn moisture before they ever reach your driveway. Ohio's humid summers slow down natural drying, so wood that has not had a full season under cover can still be carrying too much internal moisture heading into a 6b winter. Burning under seasoned wood in Lima's damp cold means more smoke, more creosote, and less heat output when you need it most. We season on our schedule, not yours, so the wood is ready before the first hard freeze hits.
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.

Answer
How much firewood does a typical Lima house need to get through winter
With frost arriving mid October and lingering into late April, most Lima households burning a few nights a week as supplemental heat go through one half to a full cord over the season. Homes relying on wood as a primary heat source often use two to three full cords given how long our 6b heating season runs.
Answer
What does seasoned firewood actually mean and why does it matter here
Seasoned means the wood has dried enough that its moisture content is low enough to burn cleanly, generally under 20 percent. In Lima's humid summers that process takes six months to a year under cover, and skipping it means a smoky, hard to light fire and more creosote buildup in your chimney during our long, damp cold season.
Answer
What kind of wood will I actually get delivered
Expect a mix of local hardwoods common to the Lima area, primarily oak, hickory, and ash, all split and dried to burn ready condition. These species are dense and give a longer, hotter burn than softer woods, which matters when you are heating through a long Ohio winter.
Answer
Is this firewood actually local, and does that matter
Yes, we source close to Lima rather than trucking wood in from far away. Moving firewood long distances is how pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas, so buying local and burning local protects the ash and hardwood trees still standing around Lima.
Answer
How does delivery to my driveway actually work
You choose your cord size and a delivery date, and we dump the wood loose in your driveway at the location you specify. Stacking is not included, so plan on moving it to your storage spot yourself, ideally soon after drop off to keep it dry.
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 roughly a quarter of that volume, our third cord about a third, and our half cord half the stacked volume, so you can scale your order to match how much you actually plan to burn this season.
Answer
Are there any local rules about burning wood in Lima
Allegheny County style open burning bans do not apply here, but Lima and Allen County can issue air quality advisories on stagnant, high humidity days, and it is worth checking local notices before a big backyard fire. Using well seasoned wood also cuts down on the smoke that triggers complaints on those still, humid evenings.
