A quarter cord of seasoned hardwood, 32 cubic feet, split and ready to burn. A tidy starter load for occasional fires and fireplace evenings through the season.
Wonderful experience! They put the mulch exactly where we wanted. This mulch spread very easily and didn’t have the usual “mulch smell.” We will definitely use again!

How Much Firewood Do I Need?
For most Richland households, a half cord covers a moderate burning routine through the winter, while full time woodstove users should plan on a full cord to avoid running short before the last frost in April.
What is a 1/4 Cord?
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.
What is a 1/3 Cord?
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.
What is a 1/2 Cord?
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!
While you are prepping for winter, consider pairing your firewood order with mulch or bark from our Richland area page to protect garden beds through the same cold, dry season.
Stack firewood off the ground on pallets or rails so air can move underneath, and keep the top covered with a tarp while leaving the sides open to airflow. Richland's dry summers help wood season quickly, but winter dampness and occasional snow can wick moisture back into a stack that sits directly on soil, so a few inches of clearance underneath makes a real difference over a long heating season.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Oregon white oak burns slow and hot with a long lasting coal bed, making it ideal for overnight burns, while bigleaf maple lights faster and works well for building initial heat quickly on cold mornings. Mixing the two in your firebox gives you a faster start with steadier heat that carries through a chilly Richland evening without constant tending.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Order your firewood in late summer or early fall before the first frost typically hits Richland around October 21. Ordering early means your wood has more time to finish seasoning in your own stacked storage, and you avoid the scramble that happens once temperatures drop and demand for seasoned cords picks up across the valley.
Wood Heat in Richland
Richland sits at 404 feet elevation in zone 7b, with a heating season that stretches from the first frost around October 21 through the last frost near April 17, meaning many homes are running woodstoves or fireplaces for close to five months. The high desert air of the Tri Cities is dry compared to western Washington, which actually helps firewood season faster once split, but wood cut too close to burning still carries too much internal moisture to burn clean. Local hardwoods like Oregon white oak, bigleaf maple, and black locust are common in our region and each burn differently, so knowing what you are getting matters. Properly seasoned wood in this climate typically needs six months to a year under cover after splitting to drop below 20 percent moisture. Burning green or under seasoned wood in Richland's cold, dry winter air creates more creosote buildup and smoke, which matters in a valley that can trap air during winter inversions. Sourcing wood that is already seasoned and local means less guesswork and cleaner burns all season long.
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

Answer
How much firewood does a typical Richland winter actually use?
With our heating season running roughly from late October to mid April, most households burning a woodstove several nights a week go through half a cord to a full cord over the season, while daily burners in older, drafty homes common around Richland often use closer to a cord and a half.
Answer
What does seasoned firewood mean and why does it matter here?
Seasoned means the wood has dried after splitting, usually six months to a year in our dry high desert air, until moisture content drops enough to burn hot and clean. In Richland's cold winter nights, green wood smokes more, burns cooler, and builds up creosote faster, which is a real fire risk difference over a full season of use.
Answer
What kind of wood will I actually get delivered?
We source seasoned hardwood sourced locally near Richland, typically a mix of species like Oregon white oak and bigleaf maple that grow in our region, both of which split well and hold a steady, long burning coal bed.
Answer
Why does it matter if the firewood is local instead of shipped in?
Firewood should always be bought near where it is burned because moving it long distances spreads invasive pests like the emerald ash borer, so our wood stays sourced close to Richland to protect the trees already growing in this area.
Answer
How does delivery to my driveway actually work?
You choose your cord size, we schedule a delivery date, and our truck drops the load loose in your driveway, ready for you to stack, since stacking itself is not part of the delivery.
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. Our quarter cord is a quarter of that volume, our third cord and half cord scale up from there, so you can match the size to how much stove use you expect this winter without over ordering.
Answer
Are there any local rules about burning firewood I should know about?
The Tri Cities area can experience winter air inversions that trap smoke close to the ground, so on days with local air quality advisories it helps to burn well seasoned wood only and keep fires smaller and hotter rather than smoldering, which cuts down on visible smoke.
