Very easy to place order online for our exact needs and very flexible for when we needed

For most Washington households burning occasionally, a half cord is a solid starting point, while full time wood heat users should plan for two to three cords to cover the full October through March season.

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. Smaller sizes are the same stack at a quarter, half, or three quarters of that volume.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your firewood off the ground on pallets or rails to keep moisture from wicking up from Washington's often damp soil, and leave gaps between rows for airflow. A simple three sided lean to with the open side facing away from prevailing winter winds will keep rain and snow off the pile while still letting humid air escape, which is essential given our region's sticky summers and wet winter stretches.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Before loading your first fire of the season, test a split log by knocking two pieces together. Well seasoned oak or hickory produces a sharp, hollow crack, while green wood sounds dull and thuddy. If you are unsure, a simple moisture meter reading under 20 percent confirms the wood is ready to burn clean rather than smolder and coat your flue with creosote.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your firewood in late summer or early fall, well before Washington's typical first frost around October 26. Wood ordered early gives you a buffer if delivery schedules fill up during the fall rush, and it ensures you are never caught scrambling for dry, seasoned splits during an early cold snap in November.

Wood Heat in Washington

Washington's heating season runs roughly from late October through late March, a stretch of about five months where a properly seasoned cord can make the difference between an evening of steady heat and a smoky, sputtering fire. Our region's mid Atlantic humidity means green or unseasoned wood holds moisture far longer than it would in a drier climate, so wood that has not been dried properly can smolder instead of burn clean. We source oak, hickory, and ash from woodlots near Washington, DC, species that are prized locally for long, hot burns once fully seasoned. With Silt Loam soils and 7b winters that bring real cold snaps but not extreme sustained freezes, homeowners here need wood that lights fast and burns efficiently through variable temperature swings. Seasoned hardwood cut and split months in advance loses the excess water that causes creosote buildup, which matters in DC's older rowhouses and chimneys that were not always built with modern liners.

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 does a typical Washington, DC winter actually require?

Most homeowners using a fireplace a few nights a week from late October through late March go through a half cord to a full cord, while those relying on a wood stove as a primary heat source often need two to three full cords across the season.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried for six months to a year until moisture content drops well below fresh cut levels, which matters in our humid mid Atlantic climate because unseasoned wood burns cooler, smokes more, and builds up creosote faster in chimneys.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I actually get?

Expect a mix of local hardwoods like oak, hickory, and ash, all sourced from woodlots near Washington and known for dense, long lasting burns well suited to our winter climate.

Answer

Why does it matter that the firewood is sourced locally?

Firewood cut near Washington and burned near Washington keeps invasive pests like the emerald ash borer from hitching a ride across county lines, which is why we never truck wood in from distant regions.

Answer

How does delivery to my property actually work?

We drop your ordered cord amount loose at the edge of your driveway on the scheduled date, and stacking is left to you or your household to arrange the wood however suits your storage space.

Answer

What is the difference between a quarter cord, half cord, and full cord?

A full cord is a stack measuring 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long, or 128 cubic feet total, and our quarter, half, and three quarter cord options are simply fractional portions of that same measurement, no different terminology needed.

Answer

Are there any local rules about burning wood in Washington, DC?

DC has periodically issued air quality advisories during winter inversion events, so it is worth checking local air quality alerts on high pollution days and holding off on burning until conditions clear, especially in dense rowhouse neighborhoods.
