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?
Most Terre Haute homes using firewood as supplemental heat should plan for at least one cord to get comfortably through the season, while primary wood heat users often need two to three cords before the last frost passes 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, check out our mulch and soil options sourced for the same silt loam conditions around Terre Haute to protect garden beds before the ground freezes.
Stack your firewood off the ground on pallets or a rack to keep it away from the damp silt loam soil common around Terre Haute, and leave gaps between rows so air can move through the stack. Cover only the top with a tarp, leaving the sides open, since fully wrapping the pile traps humidity from our Wabash Valley air and can undo months of proper seasoning before you ever burn it.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Oak and hickory from around Vigo County burn slow and hot, making them great for overnight fires, while ash lights faster and works well for building a quick evening fire. If you want to check your wood before burning, look for splits that are grayish, lightweight, and show visible cracks in the end grain, all signs the moisture content has dropped enough for a clean burn.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Order your firewood before the first frost typically arrives around October 16, since demand climbs fast once temperatures drop and popular species like oak and hickory can run low. Ordering early also gives you time to get your delivery stacked and settled before the coldest stretch of our roughly five month heating season sets in.
Wood Heat in Terre Haute
Terre Haute winters run long, with first frost typically arriving around October 16 and the last frost lingering into mid April, meaning many households are feeding a stove or fireplace for five months or more. Our silt loam soils and humid Wabash Valley air slow down natural wood drying, so firewood cut and split fresh in fall is often still too wet to burn clean by the time cold weather hits. That is why we only deliver seasoned hardwood, wood that has already dried down to a safe moisture level so it lights easily and burns hot instead of smoldering and creosoting your chimney. Local species like oak, hickory, ash, and hard maple are common around Vigo County and each bring different burn times and heat output to your wood pile. Buying wood that has already gone through a proper seasoning cycle before it reaches your driveway means you are not gambling on green wood during the coldest stretch of an Indiana 6b 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 I actually need to get through a Terre Haute winter?
Households burning a few nights a week for supplemental heat often use around one to one and a half cords across our roughly five month heating season, while those relying on a wood stove as a primary heat source can go through three or more cords before the last frost in mid April.
Answer
What does seasoned firewood mean and why does it matter here?
Seasoned means the wood has dried for months after being split, dropping its moisture content low enough to burn efficiently, which matters in our humid Wabash Valley climate because green wood dries slowly here and can smoke, spark, and build creosote if burned too soon.
Answer
What kinds of wood will I get in my delivery?
Expect a mix of hardwoods common to the Terre Haute area such as oak, hickory, ash, and hard maple, each split and seasoned so they are ready to burn on arrival.
Answer
Is your firewood really sourced locally, and does that matter?
Yes, our firewood is sourced near Terre Haute, which matters because hauling firewood long distances is a known way to spread invasive pests like the emerald ash borer, so keeping wood local protects the trees still standing around Vigo County.
Answer
How does delivery actually work?
You choose a cord size, we schedule a delivery date, and the wood is dropped loose in your driveway since we do not include stacking, so plan to have space cleared and a tarp or rack ready.
Answer
What is the difference between a quarter, third, half, and full cord?
A full cord is 128 cubic feet, stacked 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 stacked volume, giving you flexibility depending on how much storage space or burning you plan to do this winter.
Answer
Are there any local rules I should know about before burning firewood outdoors or in a stove?
Vigo County residents should check for any seasonal burn restrictions or air quality advisories issued during periods of poor air circulation, and keeping your stove burning properly seasoned wood also reduces smoke output, which helps if local air quality alerts are in effect.
