North Star Forestry

North Star Forestry delivers firewood throughout the greater Portland area, serving Scarborough and surrounding communities including Cape Elizabeth, Falmouth, Cumberland, and Westbrook. Whether you're stocking up for winter heating or planning ahead for next season, they offer both green and seasoned wood to match your needs and timeline.

Seasoned firewood typically contains 15–20% moisture content, making it ideal for immediate burning in wood stoves and fireplaces. Green wood, freshly cut and unseasoned, requires 6–12 months of air drying before use but costs less upfront if you're planning ahead. Hardwoods like oak deliver 24–28 million BTU per cord, while hickory reaches 27–30 million BTU per cord—significantly more heat output than softwoods. Knowing your wood type and moisture level matters: wet wood creates creosote buildup, reduces efficiency, and damages chimneys.

Delivery logistics vary by load size. A full cord measures 128 cubic feet (4 ft tall × 8 ft long × 4 ft deep), while half-cord and quarter-cord options work for smaller spaces or seasonal needs. North Star Forestry handles delivery to residential properties across Scarborough, Portland, South Portland, Biddeford, Buxton, and well beyond—spanning roughly 20 towns in southern Maine.

Typical firewood pricing in the Scarborough area ranges $250–$400 per cord depending on wood type, seasoning, and delivery distance. Before ordering, confirm delivery windows, whether the supplier stacks on-site, and what preparation your property requires.
