How Much Firewood Do I Need?
For York's heating season running roughly late October through late April, occasional burners typically need a quarter to a half cord, while regular wood heat users should plan on a half cord to a full cord.
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. 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.

First time going with this company for mulch and it was an efficient process from start to finish.

Best deal around when I compared it to competitors and I will definitely be becoming back.

Wonderful experience! They put the mulch exactly where we wanted. This mulch spread very easily and didn’t have the usual “mulch smell.” We will definitely use again!
If you are prepping your property for winter, pair your firewood order with mulch or stone from our York area page to protect beds and walkways before the ground freezes.
Stack your wood off the ground on pallets or rails so air can move underneath, since York's humid summers and wet springs mean ground contact invites rot and pests fast. Leave the top loosely covered but the sides open to airflow, and stack in a single row rather than a deep pile so wind can pass through and keep the wood dry heading into our long heating season.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Oak and hickory are dense and slow burning, ideal for banking a fire overnight, while ash lights quickly and works best for building a fire fast on a cold York morning. If you are not sure whether a piece is dry enough, knock two pieces together, seasoned wood gives a sharp crack while green wood sounds dull and thuddy.
Mulch Mound Pro Tip
Order before the first frost hits York in late October, since demand climbs fast once temperatures drop and popular cord sizes can sell out. Ordering in September or early October also gives freshly split wood extra weeks to finish drying before you need it, so you are never caught burning wood that is not quite ready.
Wood Heat in York
York winters run long by mid Atlantic standards, with a first frost around October 20 and the last frost not clearing until late April, meaning many households are feeding a stove or fireplace for five months or more. In zone 7a with York's humid summers, freshly cut wood needs real time and airflow to drop its moisture content, and wood that has not seasoned properly will smolder, smoke up your chimney, and leave creosote behind. Our firewood is split and seasoned before it ever reaches your driveway, so it lights faster and burns hotter through the coldest stretches of the season. Local hardwoods like oak, hickory, and ash are common around York and each brings different burn characteristics, from oak's slow steady heat to ash's easy lighting. Buying wood that has already dried down in this region's own climate means it is ready for York conditions, not shipped in from somewhere with a different humidity profile.
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 will I actually need to get through a York winter?
Most York households burning a few nights a week from late October through April go through a half cord to a full cord, while daily wood burners heating their main living space often need a full cord or more. If you are new to wood heat here, start with a half cord and track how quickly you burn through it before your first cold snap.
Answer
What does seasoned firewood actually mean, and does it matter for my chimney?
Seasoned means the wood has dried out after splitting, typically six months to a year, so it burns cleaner and hotter instead of hissing and smoking. In York's humid summers, green wood dries slower than in drier climates, so buying wood that is already seasoned protects your chimney from creosote buildup during our long heating season.
Answer
What kinds of wood will I get in my delivery?
Expect a mix of local hardwoods common to the York area, including oak, hickory, and ash, all split and dried before delivery. Oak and hickory burn longer and hotter for overnight fires, while ash lights easily and works well for getting a fire going quickly on a cold morning.
Answer
Why does it matter that the firewood is sourced locally near York?
Firewood should always stay close to where it is cut, because moving it long distances can spread invasive pests like the emerald ash borer into new areas. Our wood is sourced locally near York, so you get wood that is appropriate for this region without the risk of introducing pests that could damage local trees.
Answer
How does delivery to my driveway actually work?
Once you pick your cord size and schedule a delivery date, we bring the wood directly to your driveway and unload it loose. Stacking is not included, so plan on having space and a bit of time to move it to your storage spot after drop off.
Answer
What is the difference between a quarter cord, a third 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. A half cord is roughly half that volume, a third cord is about a third, and a quarter cord is a quarter of a full cord, so you can scale your order to match how much wood storage space you have and how long your heating season runs.
Answer
Are there any local rules I should know about burning wood in York?
York County can see air quality advisories during winter inversions when smoke sits closer to the ground, so it is worth checking local air quality notices on days when burning is discouraged. Burning well seasoned wood, like what we deliver, produces less smoke overall and helps you stay considerate of neighbors during those still, cold days.
