About this firewood

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.

Great service. We ordered topsoil from Mulch Mound and the best experience. Thank you so much!

For an average Southaven heating season, a half cord covers casual weekend use while a full cord suits households burning several nights a week from November through March.

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.

Complete Your Outdoor Project

While you are prepping your property for winter, pair your firewood order with mulch or soil from our Southaven regional page to protect beds and walkways through the wetter months ahead.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your firewood off the ground on a pallet or rack so Southaven's humid air does not wick moisture up into the bottom rows. Leave gaps between rows for airflow and angle the stack so rain runs off rather than pooling. A simple tarp over the top, left open on the sides, keeps rain out while still letting the wood breathe through the winter months.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Local oak and hickory both burn hot and long, making them ideal for overnight fires during Southaven's cold snaps, while ash lights quicker and works well as kindling wood. If you want to check moisture yourself, split a piece and press a moisture meter to the freshly exposed face rather than the bark, since bark readings are often misleading.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood well ahead of the November 15 frost date rather than waiting for the first cold snap. Early buyers get first pick of properly seasoned wood before demand climbs, and having your stack ready before Thanksgiving means you are set no matter how early winter decides to show up in Southaven this year.

Wood Heat in Southaven

Southaven winters run from around the first frost on November 15 through the last frost on March 20, a stretch that adds up to a real heating season even in north Mississippi's mild climate. Our seasoned hardwood is dried down before delivery so it lights fast and burns hot instead of hissing and smoking in your fireplace or wood stove. Local oak, hickory, and ash are the backbone of what we deliver, all species that tolerate the region's silt loam soils and grow abundantly around DeSoto County. Because Southaven's humidity can slow down natural seasoning, we season our wood properly ahead of time rather than leaving you to dry green wood through a wet winter. Buying wood that has already been seasoned near Southaven means you are not fighting moisture and sap all season long. That translates into cleaner burns, less creosote buildup, and fewer trips out to the woodpile in the cold.

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 Southaven winter actually use?

With frost arriving around November 15 and lasting until March 20, most Southaven households burning a few nights a week go through a half cord to a full cord across the season. Homes that rely on wood heat more consistently, or that have larger fireplaces, often need a full cord or more to get through comfortably.

Answer

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

Seasoned firewood has been dried down over months so its moisture content is low enough to burn cleanly. In Southaven's humid climate, green wood can stay damp and hard to light for a long time, so buying wood that is already seasoned saves you the frustration of smoky, weak fires all winter.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I get with my delivery?

Expect a mix of local hardwoods common to the Southaven area, mainly oak and hickory with some ash mixed in. Oak and hickory burn long and hot, making them well suited to the length of our regional heating season.

Answer

Is this firewood actually local, and does that matter?

Yes, our firewood is sourced locally near Southaven rather than trucked in from far away. Keeping firewood local matters because moving wood long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas, putting local trees at risk.

Answer

How does delivery to my house actually work?

You choose your cord size, schedule a delivery window, and we drop the wood loose at your driveway. Stacking is not included, so plan to move it to your storage spot yourself or with help.

Answer

What is a cord, and how do the smaller sizes compare?

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, the third cord about a third, and the half cord half of a full cord, so you can match your order to how much storage space or burning you plan to do this winter.

Answer

Do folks around here ever call this amount a rick instead of a cord?

Yes, in this part of Tennessee and Mississippi near the Tennessee line, some neighbors use the word rick to describe a partial cord of stacked wood. When you hear rick, it usually lines up closest to our third cord or half cord sizing, so just let us know what you are picturing and we will match it to the right order.
