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.

Great service. We ordered topsoil from Mulch Mound and the best experience. Thank you so much!

For most Wilson homes, a half cord covers a moderate fireplace season, while households relying on wood heat through the colder stretch from December to February should plan for a full 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.

Areas we deliver firewood in Wilson, North Carolina

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Stack your wood off the ground on a pallet or rack, since Wilson's sandy clay loam holds moisture at the surface after rain and can wick dampness back into split logs. Leave gaps between rows for airflow, and angle the stack slightly so water sheds away rather than pooling. A simple tarp over the top, left open on the sides, keeps rain off without trapping humidity inside the stack.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Local hickory burns hotter and longer than sweetgum, so save it for the coldest nights after our late October frost arrives, and use sweetgum for quicker daytime fires. A quick moisture check is to knock two split pieces together, seasoned wood gives a sharp crack while green wood makes a dull thud, a useful test before loading your stove.

Mulch Mound Pro Tip

Order your cord well before the first frost date around October 29, since seasoned wood supply tightens once Wilson's cold snaps arrive and everyone starts calling at once. Buying in September or early October also gives you time to restack or rearrange storage before you actually need the wood burning steadily through the December and January stretch.

Wood Heat in Wilson

Wilson sits in growing zone 8a with a heating season that really only bites hard from late November through February, but the humidity that builds up over sandy clay loam soil means unseasoned wood struggles to dry on its own porch stack. Local oak, hickory, and sweetgum hold moisture much longer here than in drier climates, so buying wood that has already been split and seasoned matters more than the calendar suggests. With first frost typically landing October 29 and last frost around April 2, Wilson homeowners get a fairly narrow but demanding burn window where a hot, clean fire is worth the extra step of sourcing seasoned cords. Green wood in this humidity smokes heavily, glazes chimney flues with creosote, and simply will not throw the heat a Wilson living room needs on a 30 degree night. That is why every load we deliver has already gone through the drying process before it reaches your driveway.

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 Wilson winter actually require?

Most Wilson households burning a few nights a week from late November through February go through a half cord to a full cord, while daily wood stove users often need a full cord or more given our relatively mild but humid cold snaps.

Answer

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

Seasoned means the wood has been split and dried for months to reduce moisture content, which is critical in Wilson because our humid air slows natural drying and green wood left outdoors here can stay wet and hard to burn well into winter.

Answer

What kinds of wood will I get in a Wilson delivery?

Expect a mix of local oak, hickory, and sweetgum, species common to this part of North Carolina that split cleanly and burn hot once properly seasoned.

Answer

Is this firewood really sourced near Wilson, and does that matter?

Yes, all our wood is sourced locally near Wilson, which matters because hauling firewood long distances is a known way to spread invasive pests like the emerald ash borer, so buying and burning local protects area trees.

Answer

How does delivery to my driveway actually work?

You choose a cord size and schedule a delivery date, and our truck drops the wood loose at your driveway since stacking is not included, giving you flexibility on how and where you store it.

Answer

What is a full cord compared to the smaller sizes you sell?

A full cord is 128 cubic feet stacked, measuring 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 for smaller storage areas or lighter burning needs.

Answer

Are there any local rules I should know about burning wood in Wilson?

Wilson does not currently run a formal seasonal burn ban program like some larger North Carolina cities, but keeping smoke to a minimum by burning only seasoned hardwood is the best way to stay considerate of neighbors and avoid nuisance complaints.
