Fairfield County Landscaping understands the need for quality firewood. Some people like to relax in front of a warm fire while reading a good book or watching TV with the family, while others use a fire for keeping their oil bills down and heating their homes or businesses. In either case we know how important it is to have a clean, split, and seasoned product.

We offer a variety of seasoned hardwood. Seasoned firewood is wood that has been cut to 14” to 16” lengths and splint into pieces of wood that can be handled with ease. The seasoning process is what allows wood to burn clean and efficiently in your wood stove or fireplace. The process takes between 8-12 months depending on the sunlight conditions on the pile, air circulation around the pile and rotation of the pile during the seasoning process. The moisture content at he end of seasoning is around 20%, it may vary depending on the source. Once the seasoned wood has been cut and split for 8-12 months, we can deliver it to you. Seasoned wood will appear to be gray in color in some cases which is evidence of a correct seasoning process. It may also be lacking bark, which is called “ naked wood.” This debarking process allows better drying, cleaner wood, and less chance of seeing a bug here or there.

Seasoned is the most common type of wood on the market and is available all winter long, it is stored outside and may have some snow or surface moisture on it, depending on the weather. This will quickly dry off once undercover or brought into your home, once dry, it does not affect the quality of the wood.
