Firewood prices vary by region, wood type, and whether it's seasoned or green. A full cord of mixed hardwood typically costs $200 to $400, while softwoods like pine are cheaper at $150 to $250. Delivery fees add $25 to $75.
| Item | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Full Cord (Hardwood) | $250 – $400 |
| Face Cord (Hardwood) | $100 – $180 |
| Full Cord (Softwood) | $150 – $250 |
| Delivery Fee | $25 – $75 |
Seasoned vs Green Wood
Seasoned hardwood (dried at least 6 months) runs $250 to $400 per cord. Green wood costs $180 to $280 but requires 6–12 months of aging before use, which can save $50 to $100 short-term.
Hardwood vs Softwood
Hardwoods like oak and maple burn longer and cost $250 to $400 per cord. Softwoods like pine and fir burn hot and fast, priced at $150 to $250 per cord.
Delivery and Stacking Fees
Delivery typically adds $25 to $75 depending on distance. Stacking an extra $20 to $60 if the wood is not simply dumped, with some companies charging $25 per half hour of stacking.
What moves the price in Brownsville, Texas
Seasoned hardwood costs more than green or softwood; delivery adds fees. Local quotes reflect the items below, so two providers can quote different totals for the same described job without either being wrong.
- Local labour rates and licensing requirements for the trade or professional involved
- Permits, inspections and disposal fees set by the local authority
- Travel and call-out charges for the distance from the nearest provider
- Season and demand peaks, which move both the price and the wait
- Materials, parts or inputs, and how their grade or availability changes the total
- Whether the work is a repair, a partial job or a full replacement
How to compare firewood quotes in Brownsville, Texas
Write the scope down first, then send the same description to at least three local providers. Compare the quotes line by line against that scope rather than by the headline total.
- Agree the scope: exactly what is being repaired, replaced or supplied, and how far the work extends.
- List the inclusions: labour, materials, permits, inspection fees, disposal and clean-up, each stated separately.
- Ask what is excluded, and what would trigger an extra charge once the work starts.
- Check timing: how soon work can start, how long it takes, and whether out-of-hours rates apply.
- Confirm terms: deposit, payment schedule, warranty on parts and labour, and how changes are priced.
A lower total that leaves out permits, disposal or a necessary second stage is not cheaper once those items are added back. Ask each provider in writing what would change the price.
