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.
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!

How Much Firewood Do I Need?
For most Rocky Point homes, a half cord covers occasional use, while full time wood heat through our five month heating season usually calls for a full cord or more.
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.

One of the easiest customer service experiences I've had in a long time! Mulch Mound made it so simple. After putting it off for a while, I looked at the weather and knew I needed to get to mulching ASAP before the rain came if I didn't want to wait another week. I put my order in for the next day online and they came right at 9 AM. The employee who dropped off the mulch did a great job, putting it right on the tarp I laid out, she even made sure none of it got on the yard and double checked the truck bed to make sure it all came out. The mulch was exactly what I needed and arrived right on time.
While you're prepping for winter, check out our mulch and soil options for fall bed cleanup, since Rocky Point's sandy loam benefits from a fresh layer before the ground freezes.
Stack your firewood off the ground on pallets or rails and cover just the top, leaving the sides open for airflow. Rocky Point's coastal humidity means fully wrapped tarps trap moisture underneath and can slow seasoning or even cause mold. A simple lean to roof or metal cover works better than a tarp cinched tight around the whole pile.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Oak and hickory both burn long and hot but take longer to catch, so start your fire with faster burning maple or a few softwood kindling pieces before adding the denser splits. This layering approach gets your stove up to temperature faster on cold Long Island nights without wasting your densest wood on getting the fire going.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Order your firewood in late summer or early fall, well before the November 17 average first frost, since local supply tightens once temperatures drop and everyone remembers winter at once. Ordering early also gives any slightly under seasoned splits extra weeks of dry, warm air to finish drying before you need them.
Wood Heat in Rocky Point
Rocky Point sits in growing zone 7b on Long Island, where the heating season stretches from the first frost around November 17 to the last frost near April 15, a stretch of roughly five months when a wood stove or fireplace insert gets real use. The area's sandy loam soils and coastal humidity mean green wood cut nearby takes longer to dry out than people expect, so burning unseasoned splits often leads to smoky, low heat fires and heavy creosote buildup in chimneys. Local hardwoods like oak, hickory, and red maple are common in the woodlots and yards around Rocky Point and Suffolk County, and each needs six months to a year of proper seasoning before it burns clean. Because of Long Island's marine humidity, firewood stored uncovered here reabsorbs moisture faster than it would inland, which is why seasoning and dry storage both matter. Buying wood that's already properly seasoned before your first cold snap keeps your stove efficient through the long Rocky Point winter.
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 do we typically need to get through a Rocky Point winter?
Most Rocky Point households burning a few nights a week from November through April go through one half cord to a full cord of seasoned hardwood. If your stove is your primary heat source rather than a supplement, plan for a full cord or more, especially given the roughly five month window between our first and last frost.
Answer
What does seasoned firewood actually mean, and why does it matter here?
Seasoned means the wood has dried for six months to a year after splitting, dropping its moisture content low enough to burn hot and clean. In Rocky Point's humid coastal air, green or partially dried wood struggles to season properly if left uncovered, so buying wood that's already seasoned saves you the guesswork and gives you better heat output right away.
Answer
What kinds of wood will I get with a Rocky Point delivery?
Expect a mix of local hardwoods common to Suffolk County, mainly oak, hickory, and red maple, all sourced near Rocky Point. These species are dense, burn long, and hold coals well overnight, which matters during the coldest stretches of our winter.
Answer
Is this firewood really local, and does that matter?
Yes, our wood is sourced near Rocky Point rather than trucked in from far away. Keeping firewood local helps prevent the spread of invasive pests like the emerald ash borer, which can hitch a ride in transported logs and damage the trees around Long Island.
Answer
How does delivery to my driveway actually work?
We deliver your order loose to the driveway rather than stacked, so you'll want a plan for moving and stacking it yourself, ideally under cover before the next rain. Scheduling ahead of the November frost window helps avoid the seasonal rush.
Answer
What's the difference between a quarter cord, a half cord, and a full cord?
A full cord is 128 cubic feet of stacked wood, measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long. Our quarter cord is roughly a quarter of that volume, our third cord about a third, and our half cord half the stack, so you can size your order to match how much wood storage space and burning you actually need for the season.
Answer
Are there any local rules about burning wood in Rocky Point?
Suffolk County and New York State discourage burning wet or unseasoned wood due to smoke and air quality concerns, particularly on days with poor air circulation. Sticking to properly seasoned hardwood reduces smoke output and keeps your chimney safer through the winter.
