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

For an average Philadelphia household burning several nights a week, a half cord to a full cord typically covers the season, while daily wood heat users should plan closer to two cords.

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.

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 pallets or rails so Philadelphia's damp soil and snowmelt cannot wick moisture back into split logs. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, and cover only the top of the stack, not the sides, so humidity can escape rather than get trapped underneath a full tarp during our wetter winter stretches.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory take longer to catch than softer woods but reward you with long lasting coals, so build your fire with quicker lighting kindling first, then add these dense splits once you have solid flame. A simple moisture meter reading under 20 percent confirms the wood is truly ready before you rely on it for an overnight burn.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your seasonal supply before mid October, ahead of Philadelphia's first typical frost around October 25. Ordering early avoids the rush that hits once the temperature drops and gives your stack time to settle and finish drying in your own yard before you need to lean on it heavily.

Wood Heat in Philadelphia

Philadelphia winters run from late October frost through mid April, which means many households are feeding a stove or fireplace for close to five months straight. Our region's silt loam ground and humid air keep freshly cut wood damp for a long time, so anything that has not been properly seasoned will hiss, smoke, and struggle to throw real heat on a cold January night. We season our oak, ash, and hickory down to burn ready moisture levels before it ever reaches your driveway. Local hardwoods like these are dense and burn long, which matters when you are trying to hold a bed of coals through a Philadelphia overnight low. Buying wood that has already dried out locally means you are not gambling on green logs mid season.

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 will I actually need to get through a Philadelphia winter?

Most households burning a few nights a week from late October through mid April go through one half cord to a full cord over the season. If wood heat is your primary source of warmth, plan closer to two full cords, especially with our stretch of consistently cold weeks in January and February.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried down to a moisture content low enough to burn cleanly, usually under 20 percent. In our humid Delaware Valley air, unseasoned wood can take a full year or more to dry on its own, so buying pre seasoned wood skips that wait and gives you cleaner burns with less creosote buildup in your chimney.

Answer

What kind of wood will I actually get delivered?

Expect a mix of local hardwoods common to our region, mainly oak, ash, and hickory, with occasional maple. These species are dense, burn long, and hold coals well through overnight Philadelphia cold snaps.

Answer

Is this wood really cut near Philadelphia, and does that matter?

Yes, all of our firewood is sourced locally near Philadelphia rather than trucked in from far away. Keeping firewood local matters because moving wood long distances is how invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas, and buying local helps protect the trees still standing in our region.

Answer

How does delivery actually work, do you stack it for me?

We deliver your order loose to the edge of your driveway. Stacking is not included, so plan on having space and some time set aside to move and stack it yourself once it arrives.

Answer

What is a cord, and how do your sizes compare?

A full cord is 128 cubic feet of stacked wood, measured as 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long. Our quarter cord is roughly a quarter of that stack, the third cord and half cord scale up from there, and a full cord is the entire 128 cubic foot stack, giving you options depending on how much storage space and burn time you need.

Answer

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

Philadelphia occasionally issues air quality alerts during winter temperature inversions when smoke can linger closer to the ground. On those days it is worth checking local air quality notices and holding off on a fire if one is in effect, since our humid winter air can trap smoke near rooftops longer than in drier climates.
