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.

We had a great experience with mulch mound! Our mulch arrived when we requested. The delivery fee was so reasonable. We’ll use them again for sure!

For a typical Wilmington heating season running from late October to late April, budget one to one and a half cords per month of steady wood heat use, adjusting down if the fireplace is just for ambiance.

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.

Areas we deliver firewood in Wilmington, Ohio

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your seasoned wood off the ground on pallets or rails, since Wilmington's silt loam soil holds moisture and can wick dampness right back into your woodpile. Leave the top loosely covered but the sides open to airflow, because fully wrapping a stack traps the humidity common to Ohio valley winters and invites mold before you even get to burn it.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Oak and hickory from around Wilmington burn hot and long but take a bit to get going, so start fires with smaller ash splits or kindling to build coals before adding the denser pieces. This layering approach works well through the coldest stretches between December and February when you need a fire that holds overnight.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your cords before the first frost hits Wilmington around October 20, since local seasoned hardwood supply tightens up fast once temperatures drop and everyone remembers winter at the same time. Buying in September or early October also gives you a buffer if a delivery gets pushed back a week during peak season demand.

Wood Heat in Wilmington

Wilmington sits in growing zone 6a with a heating season that stretches from the first frost around October 20 to the last frost near April 22, which means most households are feeding a stove or fireplace for six months or more. Green wood cut fresh from a Clinton County woodlot simply cannot dry fast enough to burn clean in that window, especially with the humidity that settles into the Ohio valley air. Our firewood is seasoned in advance so the moisture content drops before it ever reaches your driveway, which matters when local hardwoods like red oak and hickory are naturally dense and slow to dry. Silt loam soils around Wilmington support heavy stands of oak, ash, and hickory, so that is what fills most loads. Burning properly seasoned wood instead of green wood cuts creosote buildup, which is a real concern during Wilmington's long, damp winter stretches. Buying local also keeps that dense native hardwood supply healthy for the next heating season.

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 Wilmington winter actually use?

With frost arriving around October 20 and lingering until April 22, most Wilmington homes burning wood as a primary heat source go through three to four full cords in a season, while occasional fireplace users might only need a half cord to a full cord.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has dried down to a low moisture content before delivery, which is important in Wilmington because our humid summers and damp falls can keep freshly split wood too wet to burn cleanly if you try to season it yourself in a short window.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I actually get?

Expect a mix of local hardwoods common to Clinton County's silt loam soils, mainly oak, hickory, and ash, all known for dense, long burning fires suited to Wilmington's cold snaps.

Answer

Why does it matter that the firewood is sourced locally?

Firewood cut and dried near Wilmington stays local, which helps prevent the spread of pests like the emerald ash borer that have already devastated ash trees across Ohio, so we never truck wood in from distant regions.

Answer

How does delivery to my driveway actually work?

You choose your cord size, we schedule a drop, and the wood is unloaded loose at your driveway, no stacking included, so plan to have wheelbarrow access or space cleared ahead of time.

Answer

How do the cord sizes compare to a full cord?

A full cord is 128 cubic feet, stacked 4 feet high by 4 feet deep by 8 feet long, and our quarter cord, third cord, and half cord options are simply fractions of that same stacked volume, so a half cord is 64 cubic feet and a quarter cord is 32 cubic feet.

Answer

Are there any local burn rules I should know about in Wilmington?

Clinton County does not currently enforce a formal air quality burn ban like larger metro areas, but keeping your wood well seasoned reduces smoke output significantly, which is good practice during the stagnant, humid air that can settle over Wilmington in deep winter.
