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.
I contacted Mulch Mound for #57 river rocks and it was easy and fast to get a delivery right before the holiday weekend. Stone was delivered as promised and place exactly where I asked. Excellent service! I will be ordering mulch next!

How Much Firewood Do I Need?
Most South Farmingdale households burning a few times a week should order one to one and a half cords, while daily burners or wood heat primary homes should plan for two to three cords across the season.
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.

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.

I couldn't be happier with the speed and quality of the mulch delivery service of Mulch Mound. Every detail from ordering, to communication with on time delivery, to perfect product placement was amazing. I needed more and I got it within 2 hours! I'm never doing this with bags again.
While you are prepping for winter, consider pairing your firewood order with mulch for fall bed insulation or stone for a stable, dry storage base, both available on our South Farmingdale regional page.
Stack firewood off the ground on pallets or rails to keep sandy loam moisture from wicking up into your rows, and leave gaps between rows for airflow. A simple lean to cover or tarp over just the top of the stack, not the sides, lets humidity escape while blocking rain and snow. Facing your stack toward prevailing wind helps it dry faster if any pieces are less seasoned than expected.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Oak takes longer to catch but holds heat through the night, so use it for your last load before bed. Ash lights quickly and works well for building your base fire, while maple is a solid middle choice for daytime burning. A cheap moisture meter reading under 20 percent confirms wood is truly ready, since color and sound alone can be misleading.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Order firewood in late summer or early fall before the November 15 frost line hits, since early ordering guarantees better selection and avoids the rush that hits every South Farmingdale supplier once temperatures drop. Wood ordered early also gets a few extra weeks to finish drying in your own stack before you need it, which matters if any pieces arrive slightly under seasoned.
Wood Heat in South Farmingdale
South Farmingdale winters run from the mid November frost line into mid April, which means a long stretch of nights where a wood stove or fireplace earns its keep on Long Island. Locally cut oak, ash, and maple need six months to a year of proper drying before they burn clean, and our sandy loam ground plus coastal humidity can slow that process if wood is stacked poorly. Seasoned firewood burns hotter, produces less creosote, and puts out less smoke into neighborhood air, which matters in a densely built area like ours. Buying wood already dried and split saves homeowners from guessing whether a log popping and hissing in the firebox is actually ready to burn. Because our growing zone is 7b with a fairly short but real cold season, most households find one to three cords covers them depending on how much they rely on wood heat versus a furnace.
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 I actually need to get through a South Farmingdale winter?
With frost typically arriving by November 15 and lasting into mid April, most South Farmingdale homes burning a few nights a week use around one to one and a half cords per season, while daily wood burners often go through two to three cords. Homes using wood as primary heat should plan closer to three or four cords given our zone 7b winter length.
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 moisture content low enough to burn efficiently. In our humid coastal air, green or improperly dried wood holds onto moisture longer than in drier inland climates, so buying pre seasoned wood avoids smoky, low heat fires and heavy creosote buildup in your chimney.
Answer
What kinds of wood will I get delivered in South Farmingdale?
Our loads are a mix of local hardwoods common to this part of Long Island, primarily oak, ash, and maple. Oak burns longest and hottest for overnight fires, while ash lights easily and maple offers a nice steady middle ground for everyday use.
Answer
Why does it matter that the firewood is sourced locally?
Firewood sourced near South Farmingdale reduces the risk of spreading invasive pests like the emerald ash borer, which travels in transported logs and has damaged ash populations across the region. Buying and burning wood close to where it was cut keeps that risk contained to areas that already have the pest rather than introducing it to new ones.
Answer
How does delivery to my driveway actually work?
You choose a cord size, we schedule a delivery window, and the wood is dumped loose at your driveway rather than stacked. From there it is on you to stack and store it, so plan for a spot with good airflow before the truck arrives.
Answer
What is the difference between a quarter cord, a half cord, and a full cord?
A full cord is 128 cubic feet, measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long when stacked. Our quarter cord is a quarter of that volume, a third cord is about a third, and a half cord is exactly half, so you can scale your order to your storage space or how much wood you expect to burn this season.
Answer
Are there any local rules about burning wood I should know about?
Nassau County occasionally issues air quality advisories on stagnant, high pollution days, and burning dry seasoned wood rather than green or wet wood helps keep your smoke output lower on those days. Checking local advisories before a burn, especially on still winter evenings, is a good habit for any South Farmingdale wood burner.
