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 Marietta heating season, half a cord covers occasional use, while a full cord suits homeowners who burn several nights a week from November through early April.

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 for cooler weather, consider pairing your firewood order with mulch or soil from our Marietta area page to protect garden beds through the winter dormant season.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your firewood off the ground on a pallet or rack, since Marietta's clay soil holds moisture and can wick dampness into the bottom layer of your stack. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, and if possible, choose a spot that gets afternoon sun to help combat our region's high humidity. Covering just the top of the stack, rather than wrapping it entirely, keeps rain off while still letting the wood breathe and continue seasoning.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak burns long and steady, making it a good overnight choice, while hickory catches faster and burns hotter, better for getting a cold room up to temperature quickly. Red maple sits in between, useful for everyday fires. A quick moisture check is to knock two pieces together, seasoned wood makes a sharp crack, while green wood sounds dull and heavy.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in late summer or early fall, well before the first frost typically hits Marietta around November 5. This gives freshly split wood extra weeks to finish seasoning in your storage spot, and it avoids the rush that hits local suppliers once temperatures start dropping and everyone remembers winter is close.

Wood Heat in Marietta

Marietta winters run from around November 5 to April 5, which gives homeowners roughly five months of intermittent heating season, especially during cold snaps that push down from the north Georgia mountains. Because our humidity stays high most of the year, wood cut and split locally needs a full six to twelve months of proper seasoning before it burns clean, and shortcuts show up fast as smoke and creosote. Around Marietta, oak, hickory, and red maple are the common hardwoods, and each seasons a little differently in our clay soil climate. Oak in particular needs the extra time to drop its moisture content given our wetter air compared to drier inland climates. Buying wood that has already been split and properly dried for this specific humidity profile means it lights easier and burns hotter on the cold nights that matter most.

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 Marietta winter?

Most Marietta households burning a few nights a week from November through early April use somewhere between one half and one full cord of seasoned hardwood. If you rely on a wood stove as a primary heat source during cold snaps, plan closer to a full cord or more.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried enough to burn efficiently, usually six months to a year after splitting. In Marietta's humid climate, green or under seasoned wood holds onto extra moisture longer than it would in a drier region, which leads to more smoke, less heat, and creosote buildup in your chimney.

Answer

What kind of wood will I actually get delivered?

Expect a mix of oak, hickory, and red maple, all common hardwoods sourced from the Marietta area. These species are known for solid heat output and a longer burn time compared to softer local woods.

Answer

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

Yes, our firewood is sourced near Marietta rather than trucked in from far away. Keeping firewood local helps prevent the spread of invasive pests like the emerald ash borer, which can hitch a ride in wood moved long distances and damage trees in new areas.

Answer

How does delivery to my driveway actually work?

We deliver your order loose to the driveway on the scheduled date, and stacking is not included, so plan on some time to move and stack it yourself, ideally somewhere with airflow and partial sun.

Answer

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

A full cord is 128 cubic feet, stacked 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long. A quarter cord, half cord, and three quarter cord are simply fractions of that measurement, so you can order based on how much space you have and how much you burn each winter.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning firewood in Marietta?

Cobb County occasionally issues air quality advisories during high pollution days, so it is worth checking local notices before burning on those days, especially if you have neighbors close by or live in a denser subdivision.
