Ordered Dirt. Received Dirt. Would Buy Again.

For an average Oakland winter, plan on one half to one full cord if you burn a few times a week, or two to three full cords if wood heat is your primary source through the whole October to April season.

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.

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!

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails so air can circulate underneath, which matters in Oakland's humid stretches when ground moisture can wick up into a low stack. Angle the top of your cover slightly and leave the sides open for airflow, since fully wrapping a stack in tarp traps moisture and can slow seasoning or invite mold during our wetter fall weeks before the first frost arrives.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory from local sources take longer to catch but hold coals impressively well, so use a smaller maple or softer split as kindling to get your fire established before adding denser oak splits. A simple moisture meter reading under 20 percent tells you the wood is ready. If splits hiss or bubble sap at the ends when burning, they need more drying time before your next load goes on the fire.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood well before Oakland's first frost around October 9, since local suppliers get busiest as temperatures start dropping in September. Buying early also gives any borderline splits extra weeks to finish drying in your stack before you need heavy nightly fires in December and January.

Wood Heat in Oakland

Oakland, NJ sits in growing zone 6b with a heating season that stretches from the first frost around October 9 through the last frost near April 30, meaning many households are running wood stoves or fireplaces for six months or more. Northern New Jersey's mix of humid summers and cold, damp winters means unseasoned wood struggles to dry out once cold weather sets in, so we season our hardwood well ahead of delivery rather than letting customers gamble on green wood drying in a Bergen County backyard. Local hardwoods like oak, hickory, and hard maple are common in this part of Passaic and Bergen County woodlots, and they burn longer and hotter than the softer woods sometimes sold at gas stations or big box stores. Because Oakland's elevation near 236 feet and sandy loam soil support dense hardwood stands nearby, we can source wood close to home instead of trucking it in from unknown origins. Burning properly seasoned wood also matters for indoor air quality and chimney safety through a long Northeast winter with plenty of closed-up, humid days.

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 Oakland household burn in one winter?

With a heating season running roughly from early October to late April, most Oakland homeowners using a wood stove as a secondary heat source burn between one half cord and one full cord per year, while those relying on wood as a primary heat source often go through two to three full cords given the length of our cold months.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried down to a safe moisture content, typically under 20 percent, instead of being freshly cut and full of sap water. In Oakland's humid Northeast climate, green wood struggles to dry properly once it is stacked outside in winter, so buying pre seasoned hardwood avoids smoky, low heat fires and heavy creosote buildup in your chimney.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I get with a delivery?

Expect a mix of oak, hickory, and hard maple, the dominant hardwoods found in the wooded areas around Bergen and Passaic County. These species are dense, burn long, and produce strong heat output, which matters during Oakland's colder January and February stretches.

Answer

Is this firewood actually local, and does that matter?

Yes, our wood is sourced from suppliers near Oakland rather than shipped in from out of state. Keeping firewood local matters because moving wood long distances can spread invasive pests like the emerald ash borer, which has already impacted ash trees throughout New Jersey, so buying and burning within the region helps protect the forests around your own neighborhood.

Answer

How does delivery to my driveway work?

We deliver the wood loose directly to a driveway location you point out, whether that is near your garage or closer to your back door for easier stacking. Stacking itself is not included, so plan on an afternoon to move and stack the load once it arrives.

Answer

How do the different cord sizes compare?

A full cord is 128 cubic feet stacked, measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long. Our quarter cord is about a quarter of that volume, the third cord about a third, and the half cord exactly half, so you can scale your order to match how much storage space and burning you plan on this season.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning wood in Oakland?

New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection issues air quality advisories on high pollution or stagnant air days, and it is good practice to hold off burning during those alerts. Beyond that, using well seasoned local hardwood instead of wet or treated wood is one of the simplest ways to keep smoke output low and stay a good neighbor during Oakland's still winter air days.
