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!

How Much Firewood Do I Need?
For most Nashua homes using wood as a primary heat source, plan on ordering two to four full cords to cover the entire October through May heating season, with lighter burners needing closer to a half cord or one cord.
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.

One of the easiest customer service experiences I've had in a long time! Mulch Mound made it so simple. After putting it off for a while, I looked at the weather and knew I needed to get to mulching ASAP before the rain came if I didn't want to wait another week. I put my order in for the next day online and they came right at 9 AM. The employee who dropped off the mulch did a great job, putting it right on the tarp I laid out, she even made sure none of it got on the yard and double checked the truck bed to make sure it all came out. The mulch was exactly what I needed and arrived right on time.
While you are prepping the yard for winter, check out our mulch and stone options sized for Nashua's zone 6a landscaping needs, from insulating garden beds before the first frost to firming up paths before snow season.
Stack your firewood off the ground on pallets or rails so it is not sitting in snowmelt or spring mud once the thaw starts. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, and cover just the top of the stack with a tarp rather than wrapping the whole pile, since trapped moisture from humid New England air can undo months of seasoning in a single wet week.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Oak and sugar maple are dense and burn long, making them ideal for overnight coals during Nashua's coldest stretches, while yellow birch lights quickly and is great for getting a fire established. A simple moisture meter reading under 20 percent tells you the wood is truly ready, since appearance alone can be misleading after a summer of humidity.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Order your firewood well before the first frost around October 3, since seasoned hardwood supply tightens up once temperatures drop and everyone in the Merrimack Valley starts calling at once. Buying early also gives freshly delivered wood a few extra weeks to finish drying near your stacking area before you need to burn it.
Wood Heat in Nashua
Nashua sits in growing zone 6a with a heating season that typically runs from early October through late May, bookended by a first frost around October 3 and a last frost near May 20. That is nearly eight months where a wood stove or fireplace can be earning its keep. Local hardwoods like oak, sugar maple, and yellow birch are common in this part of the Merrimack Valley, and they need real time to season properly given New England's humid summers. Wood that has not dropped its moisture content burns cool, smokes heavily, and leaves creosote in chimneys, which is a real risk during a long Nashua winter when the stove runs daily. We only deliver hardwood that has already been split and seasoned, so it is ready to burn from the first cold snap through the last frost of spring.
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 do I actually need to get through a Nashua winter?
Households that burn a wood stove as a primary or near daily heat source through Nashua's long season, roughly October to May, often go through three to four full cords. If your fireplace or stove is more of a supplemental or weekend feature, a half cord to one cord is usually plenty.
Answer
What does seasoned firewood mean and why does it matter here?
Seasoned means the wood has dried down to a low moisture content after being cut and split, typically six months to a year depending on species and our humid New England summers. Burning seasoned wood in a Nashua winter gives you hotter, cleaner fires with far less creosote buildup in the chimney compared to green wood.
Answer
What kind of wood will I actually get?
Expect a mix of local hardwoods common to the Nashua area and southern New Hampshire, mainly oak, sugar maple, and yellow birch, all split and seasoned. These species are known for dense, long burning coals that hold heat well overnight.
Answer
Is this wood really local, and does that matter?
Yes, we source our firewood near Nashua rather than trucking it in from far away. Buying local matters because moving firewood long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas, threatening the region's tree canopy.
Answer
How does delivery actually work?
You choose your cord size and a delivery window, and our truck drops the wood loose in your driveway on the scheduled day. Stacking is not included, so plan to move it into your storage spot yourself, ideally soon after drop off.
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. Our quarter cord is about a third of that, a third cord is a bit more, a half cord is exactly half that stack, and a full cord is the whole thing, so you can size your order to your stove use and storage space.
Answer
Are there any local rules I should know about before burning?
Nashua residents should always check that outdoor burning, if applicable to their property, follows New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services guidelines, and pay attention to any winter air quality advisories that can affect wood stove use on stagnant, cold days. Burning well seasoned hardwood also produces far less visible smoke than green wood, which helps keep your setup in good standing with neighbors and local air quality expectations.
