Firewood

Types of Firewood Available For Purchase?

Firewood is classified into two broad categories; hardwood or softwood. Hardwoods are denser than softwoods, enabling them to produce more heat and have a longer burn time, making them a preferred wood for wood burners and fireplaces. Additionally, hardwoods are less resinous than softwoods, producing less smoke and buildup in your chimney.

The high resin content in softwoods creates a charming and colorful flame that is ideal for outdoor fires. While softwoods burn quickly, the fire produced is enjoyable to look at and smells excellent.

At Premier Tree and Landscaping, we have both hardwoods and softwood firewood options available to our customers year-round:
