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 Vancouver homes, a half cord to a full cord covers a typical wood burning season from first frost in November through last frost in late March.
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.
Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails so Vancouver's wet winters don't wick moisture back up into the bottom rows. Leave gaps between splits for airflow, and cover only the top of the stack with a tarp, keeping the sides open. Fully enclosing a stack traps humidity from our damp air and can undo months of seasoning in just a few soggy weeks.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Oregon white oak takes longer to catch but burns hot and long once established, making it ideal for overnight burns during Vancouver's coldest stretches in January. Bigleaf maple lights faster and works well for building your initial fire. Try mixing the two, using maple for kindling and early flame, then adding oak once the firebox is hot for steady, lasting heat.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Order your firewood well before Vancouver's first frost typically arrives around November 10, since demand climbs fast once temperatures drop and good seasoned wood can sell out. Buying in late summer or early fall also gives any slightly green splits extra weeks to finish drying in our mild autumn air before you actually need to burn them.
Wood Heat in Vancouver
Vancouver winters run long, with a frost window that opens November 10 and doesn't close until March 20, so most households are feeding a stove or insert for four to five months straight. The Pacific Northwest's damp air means unseasoned wood struggles to dry once it's in your rack, which is why we only deliver hardwood that has already been split and seasoned down to a proper burn moisture before it reaches your driveway. Local rounds of Oregon white oak, bigleaf maple, and Douglas fir mix are common in this area, and each behaves differently in a firebox, so knowing what you're burning matters. Volcanic loam soils around Vancouver support fast tree growth, but that also means green wood here holds more moisture than drier climates, making proper seasoning even more critical. Buying wood that has already dried through a full Pacific Northwest summer saves you smoke, creosote buildup, and wasted heat all winter long.
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.

Answer
How much firewood does a typical Vancouver house need to get through winter?
With a heating season stretching from early November to late March, most Vancouver homes burning a stove several nights a week go through half a cord to a full cord. Homes that rely on wood as their primary heat source, especially older houses without central heating, often burn through a full cord or more given how long our frost window runs.
Answer
What does seasoned firewood actually mean, and why does it matter here?
Seasoned means the wood has dried enough that its internal moisture is low enough to burn cleanly, generally under 20 percent. In our humid Pacific Northwest climate, green wood can take a full summer or longer to dry properly, so buying wood that's already seasoned means you're not stuck burning smoky, hissing rounds through the wettest months of the year.
Answer
What kinds of wood should I expect in my delivery?
Our firewood is a mix of local hardwoods common to the Vancouver area, primarily Oregon white oak and bigleaf maple, both of which burn hot and steady once properly seasoned. You may occasionally see other regional hardwoods mixed in depending on availability, but we don't deliver softwoods like fir as a primary fuel source.
Answer
Is your firewood actually sourced near Vancouver, and does that matter?
Yes, all of our wood is sourced locally near Vancouver rather than trucked in from other regions. Moving firewood long distances is one of the main ways invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread from one area to another, so keeping our supply local protects the trees in your own neighborhood.
Answer
How does delivery actually work once I place an order?
You choose your cord size and a delivery date, and our truck brings the load straight to your driveway. It's delivered loose rather than stacked, so plan on having space cleared where you want it dropped, and expect to move it into your own rack or woodshed afterward.
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, giving you flexible options depending on how much storage space and burning you plan to do this season.
Answer
Are there any local burn rules I should know about in Vancouver?
Southwest Washington occasionally issues air quality burn advisories during stagnant winter weather through the Southwest Clean Air Agency, which can temporarily restrict wood burning on poor air days. Burning fully seasoned hardwood instead of green or wet wood produces far less smoke, which helps you stay compliant and keeps your chimney cleaner too.
