Easy to order, great service, and great product. We enjoy the final look of a very neglected beds we inherited!

For occasional fireside use in Philadelphia, a quarter to half cord usually covers the season, while regular wood burning households should order a full cord to avoid running out during a January cold snap.

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.

I recently ordered from mulch mound and was thoroughly impressed with every aspect of the experience. The entire process, from placing the order to delivery was seamless and efficient. The mulch arrived exactly on time, and the quality exceeded my expectations. The color was rich and consistent, and I received more than enough to complete my project with proper coverage and packing.

Customer service was equally outstanding. Communication was clear, and the team was responsive and professional throughout. It’s rare to find a company that delivers both a high-quality product and excellent service, but mulch mound did just that.

Highly recommended, and I wouldn’t hesitate to order from them again.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on a pallet or rack, and cover just the top with a tarp, leaving the sides open for airflow. Philadelphia's humid summers and wet winters mean fully covered stacks can trap moisture and encourage mold. A spot with morning sun and some wind exposure will help keep your seasoned wood dry all the way through the cold months.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory take longer to catch but burn long and hot once going, so use a few smaller ash splits as kindling to get the fire established before adding denser logs. This layering approach mimics how local firewood suppliers season their mixed loads and gives you a more reliable, longer burning fire on the coldest Philadelphia nights.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in September or early October, well before our typical October 25 first frost. Demand spikes once temperatures drop, and waiting until the first cold snap often means longer delivery windows or picked over inventory. Buying early also gives any slightly under seasoned splits extra weeks to dry before you need them.

Wood Heat in Philadelphia

Philadelphia winters run cold and damp from late October through April, and that stretch of raw, humid air makes unseasoned wood nearly impossible to burn clean. Our firewood comes from oak, ash, and hickory harvested within the region, split and dried for months so the moisture content drops low enough for a hot, efficient fire. Green wood in our humid Mid Atlantic climate can take a full year or more to season properly, which is too long for most homeowners heating through a Philadelphia winter. Seasoned hardwood lights faster, produces more heat per log, and leaves far less creosote buildup in rowhouse chimneys and flues that already deal with tight clearances. With roughly six months of heating season bookended by our typical October 25 first frost and April 10 last frost, having dry wood ready before the cold sets in makes a real difference in comfort and safety.

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 need to get through a typical Philadelphia winter?

Most Philadelphia homes burning a few nights a week from November through March use somewhere between one half cord and a full cord. If wood heat is your primary source through our roughly six month heating season, plan closer to two or three cords.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried down to a low moisture content, typically under 20 percent, after months of exposure to air and sun. In our humid Philadelphia climate, green wood holds moisture much longer, so buying pre seasoned wood saves you a season of waiting and burns cleaner in older rowhouse chimneys.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I actually get delivered?

Expect a mix of oak, ash, and hickory sourced from woodlots near Philadelphia. These are dense hardwoods that burn longer and hotter than softer woods like pine, which makes them well suited to our cold snaps.

Answer

Is this firewood really local, and does that matter?

Yes, all of our wood is sourced near Philadelphia rather than trucked in from far away. Keeping firewood local helps stop the spread of invasive pests like the emerald ash borer, which has already damaged ash trees across Pennsylvania forests.

Answer

How does delivery actually work?

We dump your order loose in the driveway on the scheduled day. Stacking isn't included, so plan to have space cleared and ready, especially if rain or an early frost is in the forecast.

Answer

What's 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. Some folks use terms like rick or face cord for a partial cord elsewhere, but here in Philadelphia we sell by clean fractions, quarter, half, three quarter, or full cord, so you always know exactly what you're getting.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning wood I should know about?

The Philadelphia Air Management Services occasionally issues air quality alerts during winter inversions, and it's best to avoid unnecessary burning on those days. Otherwise, seasoned hardwood in a well maintained fireplace or stove is standard practice across the city.
