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 Warwick households, a half cord to a full cord covers a season of regular fireplace use, while primary wood heat users should plan on 3 to 4 full cords delivered before the first frost.
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.
While you are prepping your property for Warwick's long cold season, consider pairing your firewood order with mulch or stone from our regional pages to protect garden beds and walkways from the same freeze and thaw cycles.
Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails, since Warwick's damp winters and sandy loam soil hold moisture that will wick straight into a pile sitting on bare earth. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, and cover only the top of the stack with a tarp, keeping the sides open so humidity from Narragansett Bay does not get trapped and cause mold or slow re-wetting of already seasoned wood.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Local oak and maple both burn hot and slow, ideal for overnight coals, but they need a hotter kindling base to get going. Build your fire with a few pieces of split softwood or dry kindling underneath, then add oak or maple once flames are established, so you get a long lasting bed of coals through a cold Warwick night without an early struggle to catch the fire.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Order your firewood well before the first frost hits around October 24, since demand across Rhode Island spikes hard once temperatures drop and local suppliers can run low on already seasoned inventory. Ordering in September or early October also gives any slightly green wood extra weeks to finish drying out before you actually need it burning hot on a cold night.
Wood Heat in Warwick
Warwick winters stretch from late October frost through early May, which means a long heating season for anyone burning wood in a fireplace or stove. That kind of season punishes green or half seasoned wood, which smolders, smokes, and coats chimneys with creosote instead of throwing real heat. Our wood is seasoned hardwood, mostly oak and maple sourced near Rhode Island, split and dried down to a moisture content that actually burns hot in coastal Rhode Island's humid air. Sandy loam soils around Warwick support strong hardwood growth, and local mills split and cure it long enough to fight off the extra moisture that Narragansett Bay humidity adds to uncovered wood piles. Buying wood that has already gone through a proper local seasoning cycle means fewer cold nights spent fighting a weak fire.
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 Warwick winter?
With first frost landing around October 24 and last frost near May 1, Warwick has a long stretch of cold nights. A household burning several nights a week as a primary heat source often goes through 3 to 4 full cords, while occasional fireplace users might only need a half cord or a quarter cord to cover the season.
Answer
What does seasoned firewood actually mean, and why does it matter here?
Seasoned means the wood has been cut, split, and dried long enough to drop its internal moisture, usually 6 months to a year. In Warwick's humid coastal air, unseasoned wood holds onto moisture longer than it would in a drier inland climate, so buying already seasoned hardwood saves you from smoky fires and poor heat output.
Answer
What kind of wood species will I get with a Warwick delivery?
Expect a mix dominated by oak and maple, both common hardwoods around Rhode Island and known for dense, long burning coals that suit the length of our heating season better than softer woods.
Answer
Is this firewood actually sourced locally, and does that matter?
Yes, our wood is sourced near Warwick rather than trucked in from far away. Moving firewood long distances is a known way invasive pests like the emerald ash borer spread into new areas, so keeping wood local protects the trees in your own neighborhood.
Answer
How does delivery actually work once I place an order?
You choose your cord size, pick a delivery date, and our truck drops the wood loose at your driveway. There is no stacking included, so plan on having help or time set aside to move it to your storage spot.
Answer
What is the difference between a quarter cord, a half cord, and a full cord?
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 a quarter of that volume, our third cord and half cord scale up from there, giving Warwick homeowners flexible options depending on how much storage space and burning need they have.
Answer
Are there any local rules I should know about before burning firewood in Warwick?
Rhode Island periodically issues air quality advisories during stagnant winter weather, so it is worth checking local notices on high pollution days and avoiding unnecessary burning when advisories are active, especially with older, less efficient wood stoves.
