About this firewood

A quarter cord of seasoned hardwood, split and ready to burn. A tidy starter load for occasional fires and fireplace evenings through the season.

Wonderful experience! They put the mulch exactly where we wanted. This mulch spread very easily and didn’t have the usual “mulch smell.” We will definitely use again!

Most Nashville households burning a few nights a week need a half cord to a full cord to comfortably cover the roughly five month heating season from late October 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. Smaller sizes are the same stack at a quarter, half, or three quarters of that volume.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

While you are prepping for winter, check out our mulch and soil options sourced for Nashville's clay and limestone soils, ideal for insulating garden beds before the first hard frost hits.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on a pallet or rack with the bark side up, and leave the top loosely covered rather than fully tarped on all sides. Nashville's humidity means fully wrapped stacks trap moisture and slow seasoning, so airflow around the pile matters as much as keeping rain off the top.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory both burn long and hot, but hickory catches faster and puts off more immediate heat, making it a good choice for starting a fire before adding denser oak splits to sustain it overnight. Mixing the two gives you quick warmth and long lasting coals through a cold Nashville night.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in September or early October, ahead of the season's first real cold front, since local seasoned wood supply tightens up once temperatures drop and everyone in Middle Tennessee starts calling at the same time. Ordering early also gives your stack extra weeks to dry further before that October 30 average first frost.

Wood Heat in Nashville

Nashville winters run cool and damp from late October through early April, and that stretch of humid, in and out freeze thaw weather is tough on wood that has not had time to season properly. Our firewood is seasoned hardwood, mostly oak, hickory, and ash sourced from Middle Tennessee woodlots, split and dried down to burn hot and clean instead of hissing and smoking on your grate. Green or under seasoned wood struggles in our humidity because it never fully loses its internal moisture, and that means more smoke, more creosote buildup in the flue, and less heat for your money. With roughly five months of real fireplace and wood stove weather here, having dry, ready to burn wood on hand from the first cold front through the last April chill makes a real difference in comfort and safety. Sourcing locally near Nashville also means the wood has not carried pests up from another region into our urban tree canopy.

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

Answer

How much firewood do I actually need to get through a Nashville winter

For a home that burns a few nights a week from November through March, a half cord to a full cord usually covers the season. If you rely on a wood stove as a main heat source, or you like a fire going most nights once temperatures drop after that late October frost, 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 been cut, split, and dried for months until its internal moisture content drops low enough to burn efficiently. In our humid Middle Tennessee climate, wood that is not properly seasoned holds onto moisture longer than it would in a drier region, which leads to smoky, low heat fires and faster creosote buildup in your chimney.

Answer

What kind of wood will I get with a Nashville delivery

Expect a mix of local hardwoods, primarily oak and hickory with some ash mixed in, all common species harvested from woodlots around Middle Tennessee. Oak and hickory burn long and hot, which suits our stretch of cold nights from late fall into early spring.

Answer

Is this firewood actually local, and does that matter

Yes, our wood is sourced near Nashville rather than trucked in from far away. Moving firewood long distances is a known way invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new tree populations, so keeping wood local protects the trees in your own neighborhood.

Answer

How does delivery to my driveway actually work

You choose your cord size and a delivery window, and our truck dumps the wood loose in your driveway at the spot you request. Stacking is not included, so plan to move it to your storage area within a few days, especially if rain is forecast.

Answer

What is a rick or face cord, and how does that compare to your sizes

In parts of the region, including some of our Kentucky and Tennessee border customers, folks use the terms rick or face cord to describe a stack that is 4 feet high by 8 feet long but only as deep as the log length, often 16 to 18 inches. That generally lines up close to our quarter cord to one third cord range, so if you are used to ordering a rick, our quarter cord is a reasonable equivalent to start from.

Answer

Are there any local burn rules or air quality days I should know about

Nashville and Davidson County occasionally issue air quality advisories on stagnant, high pollution days, and it is good practice to hold off on burning during those advisories. Otherwise, standard fireplace and outdoor fire pit use is allowed within Metro Nashville guidelines, so just keep an eye on local air quality notices during the winter months.
