Ordered Dirt. Received Dirt. Would Buy Again.

For a South Bend winter, occasional fireplace use typically calls for a quarter to half cord, while households heating primarily with wood through the long frost window should plan for one to two full 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.

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!

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your firewood off the ground on pallets or rails so sandy loam moisture from South Bend's soil does not wick into the bottom rows. Leave the top loosely covered with a tarp but keep the sides open for airflow, since fully enclosing a stack traps humidity and slows seasoning. A stack against a south facing wall gets extra winter sun exposure, which helps keep wood dry through our wetter fall weeks.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Hard maple and shagbark hickory both burn hot and steady, making them good choices for overnight fires during South Bend's coldest stretches in January and February. Red oak takes a bit longer to catch but holds coals well. To check moisture before burning, split a piece and touch the fresh face, if it feels cool and damp rather than dry, give it more seasoning time before it goes in the stove.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood well before the first frost typically hits South Bend around October 10, since local seasoned supply tends to tighten up once temperatures start dropping. Buying in late summer also gives any borderline pieces extra weeks to dry out in the sun before you need them, which matters more here given our humid summer air.

Wood Heat in South Bend

South Bend sits in growing zone 5b with a heating season that typically runs from the first frost around October 10 through the last frost near May 1, which means many households are burning wood for six months or more. That long stretch makes moisture content critical, since sandy loam soils and humid Michiana air can slow the drying process for wood that has not been properly seasoned. Local hardwoods like red oak, hard maple, and shagbark hickory are common in this region and each burns differently, so knowing your species helps you plan for heat output and burn time. Wood that is not fully seasoned tends to smolder and produce more creosote, which is a real concern during a South Bend winter when the woodstove or fireplace runs for hours at a time. Buying seasoned hardwood that has already dried through a South Bend summer means fewer smoky nights and better heat when the temperature drops below freezing for weeks on end.

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 South Bend household need to get through winter?

Most homes that use a woodstove as a supplemental heat source through South Bend's roughly six month heating season burn between one half cord and one full cord, while homes relying on wood as a primary heat source often use two to three full cords given how long temperatures stay below freezing here.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried for several months to a year after splitting, dropping its moisture content low enough to burn cleanly, which matters in South Bend because our humid summers can slow drying compared to drier climates, so wood that looks dry may still hold more moisture than expected.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I actually get?

Our loads are sourced locally near South Bend and typically include hardwoods common to the Michiana area such as red oak, hard maple, and shagbark hickory, all of which are known for solid heat output and longer burn times through cold snaps.

Answer

Why does it matter that the firewood is sourced locally?

Firewood should always be bought and burned near where it was cut because transporting wood long distances can spread invasive pests like the emerald ash borer, which has already impacted ash trees across Indiana, so our wood stays within the local region from harvest to delivery.

Answer

How does delivery to my property actually work?

We deliver the wood loose to your driveway rather than stacked, so you will want a plan for moving and stacking it yourself, ideally against a fence line or wall with good airflow to keep it dry through the winter.

Answer

What is a cord and how do your sizes compare?

A full cord is 128 cubic feet of stacked wood, measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long, and our quarter, third, and half cord options are simply fractions of that same measurement, so a half cord is roughly 64 cubic feet and a quarter cord is roughly 32 cubic feet.

Answer

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

South Bend and St. Joseph County can issue air quality advisories on high pollution days, so it is worth checking local advisories before lighting an outdoor fire, and using well seasoned hardwood rather than green wood helps reduce smoke output on any burn day.
