We had a great experience with mulch mound! Our mulch arrived when we requested. The delivery fee was so reasonable. We’ll use them again for sure!

For most Reston homes using a fireplace occasionally, a half cord to a full cord covers the season, while primary wood heat users should plan on two to three cords to get through the full October to April stretch.

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.

First time going with this company for mulch and it was an efficient process from start to finish. Website was easy—I told them exactly where I wanted the mulch put on my driveway, and it was delivered perfectly when I got home from work the next day. Best deal around when I compared it to competitors and I will definitely be becoming back.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on a pallet or rack, since Reston's clay loam soil holds moisture and will wick dampness back into the bottom rows if logs sit directly on dirt or grass. Leave the top loosely covered with a tarp but keep the sides open so humid air can escape. A stack against a south or west facing wall gets extra sun and airflow, which helps keep already seasoned wood from picking up moisture again during our wetter spring stretches.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory both take a little longer to catch but burn long and hot once established, making them ideal for overnight coals on cold January nights. Red maple lights faster and works well for kindling a fire before adding denser splits. If you want to check moisture yourself, a simple firewood moisture meter should read under 20 percent, and a fresh split face reading higher usually means the log needs more time before it is truly ready.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in late summer or early fall, well before the October 20 average first frost, since demand and delivery schedules tighten up once temperatures start dropping and everyone in Reston is calling at once. Ordering early also gives you a buffer to restack or rearrange your supply before the first real cold snap arrives.

Wood Heat in Reston

Reston sits in zone 7a with a heating season that typically runs from late October through mid April, meaning many households are burning wood for close to six months. Northern Virginia's humid summers and clay loam soils make freshly cut wood slow to dry, so unseasoned logs can carry too much internal moisture to burn clean when the first cold snap hits after the October 20 frost date. Local hardwoods like oak, hickory, and red maple need six months to a year of proper seasoning to drop down to burnable moisture levels in this climate. Wood that has not seasoned long enough hisses, smokes heavily, and coats chimneys with creosote, which is a real concern in the older brick fireplaces common in Reston's Hunters Woods and Lake Anne era homes. Buying seasoned hardwood that has already been through a full drying cycle takes the guesswork out of it. It also means you are ready to burn the moment temperatures drop rather than waiting weeks for green wood to catch up.

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 Reston household burn in a winter?

With our roughly six month heating season stretching from late October to late April, a household burning a few nights a week as supplemental heat usually goes through a half cord to a full cord, while homes relying on wood as a primary heat source often use two to three cords.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has been split and air dried long enough, usually six months to a year, to fall below 20 percent moisture, which matters in Reston's humid Mid Atlantic climate because green wood dries much slower here than in drier regions and will smoke and smolder if burned too soon.

Answer

What kind of wood will I actually get delivered?

Our mix is dominated by species common to Northern Virginia woodlots, primarily oak, hickory, and red maple, all of which are dense hardwoods that burn hot and long once properly seasoned.

Answer

Is this really local wood, and does that matter?

Yes, our firewood is sourced near Reston rather than trucked in from out of state, which matters because moving firewood long distances is how invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new forests, so buying and burning local protects the tree canopy around Reston and the greater Dulles corridor.

Answer

How does delivery to my driveway work?

We dump your order loose directly onto the driveway rather than stacking it, so plan to have space cleared and be ready to move it to your stacking area within a day or two, especially if rain is in the forecast.

Answer

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

A full cord is a stack measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long, or 128 cubic feet total, and the quarter, half, and three quarter options are simply proportional fractions of that same stacked volume, so you can size your order to your storage space and how much you burn.

Answer

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

Fairfax County and the Reston area occasionally issue air quality advisories on especially stagnant winter days, and while outdoor wood burning restrictions are typically aimed at open burning rather than indoor fireplaces and stoves, it is worth checking local advisories on high pollution days and making sure your wood is well seasoned, since dry hardwood burns cleaner and produces less particulate smoke than damp or green wood.
