Great service. We ordered topsoil from Mulch Mound and the best experience. Thank you so much!

For most Newport News homes using firewood as supplemental heat through the winter, a half cord to full cord is a reasonable starting point, with primary wood heat users needing more.

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.

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.

We have always spread our own mulch for the past 24 years. This was our first time with the Mulch Mound - things I liked: they have online ordering and provide a digital receipt which means you can remember how much you ordered (I always forget for the next year!), they were on time, they were able to deliver in 48 hours, they were generous with the portion (we got 9 yards and it felt like a FULL nine yards!), the driver was polite! We have ordered from reputable places, and there is always a little trash in the mulch. The mulch we recv'd from Mulch Mound had barely any... we were pleasant surprised!!! Color was great! Not to mention - the price was competitive and LOWER than other mulch places around. We will use again !! Highly recommend! Thanks Mulch Mound!

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your firewood off the ground on pallets or rails so air can circulate underneath, since Newport News humidity can wick moisture up from the soil into your woodpile. Keep the top covered but the sides open to airflow, and position your stack where it gets afternoon sun if possible. This helps keep already seasoned wood from reabsorbing moisture during our wetter stretches.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Local oak and hickory both burn hot and long once seasoned, making them great for overnight fires, while maple lights faster and works well for getting a fire going before adding denser wood. A quick moisture check with a simple meter should read below 20 percent for a clean, efficient burn with less smoke and creosote buildup.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood well before the first frost typically hits Newport News around November 1, since demand climbs fast once temperatures drop and delivery windows can fill up. Buying in early fall also gives any slightly less dry splits extra time to finish drying out in your stack before you need them most.

Wood Heat in Newport News

Newport News sits in growing zone 8a with a heating season that really only kicks in after the first frost around November 1 and stretches into spring before the last frost on April 17. That is a long stretch of damp, coastal Virginia air moving off the James River and Hampton Roads, and that humidity slows down natural seasoning if wood is cut too close to burn time. Our firewood is seasoned well ahead of delivery so the moisture content is already down before it reaches your driveway. Local hardwoods like oak, hickory, and red maple are common in this region and hold heat well once properly dried. Burning green or under seasoned wood in this climate means more smoke, more creosote buildup, and less heat for your effort. Getting seasoned wood matched to our local humidity is the difference between a fire that struggles and one that carries you through a Tidewater winter night.

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 does a typical Newport News winter actually require?

With frost typically arriving around November 1 and lasting until mid April, most Newport News households burning a few nights a week for supplemental heat go through a half cord to a full cord over the season, while those relying on wood heat as a primary source often need more.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried down to a lower moisture content after being cut and split, which matters especially in our humid coastal climate because wood left green or under seasoned in Hampton Roads air tends to smoke heavily and burn poorly.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I actually get delivered?

Expect a mix of local hardwoods commonly found around Newport News such as oak, hickory, and red maple, all known for solid heat output and a manageable burn once seasoned.

Answer

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

Yes, our wood is sourced near Newport News, and buying local matters because hauling firewood long distances is a known way invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas.

Answer

How does delivery to my house actually work?

You choose your cord size, we schedule a delivery date, and the wood is dropped loose in your driveway, so plan on having space ready and a plan for stacking it yourself.

Answer

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

A full cord is 128 cubic feet stacked, measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long, and our quarter, third, and half cord options are simply fractions of that same stacked volume, so a half cord is roughly 64 cubic feet.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning firewood in Newport News?

Homeowners should always check current City of Newport News ordinances and any regional air quality advisories from the Hampton Roads area before burning outdoors, since open burning restrictions can change with dry conditions or air quality alerts.
