Helverson Brothers Firewood and Mulch
About Helverson Brothers Firewood and Mulch
Helverson Brothers Firewood and Mulch is a full-service wood and landscape material supplier serving Ottsville and surrounding Bucks County communities. Whether you need firewood for a wood stove, fireplace, or outdoor fire pit, the company stocks red oak, white oak, rock oak, and mixed hardwoods — all premium hardwood species that deliver strong heat output and reliable burning performance.
Red and white oak are among the densest hardwoods available, producing 24–28 million BTUs per cord. This makes them ideal for extended heating during cold Pennsylvania winters. The key to maximizing that heat potential is moisture content — properly seasoned wood should measure below 20% moisture, which ensures efficient combustion and reduces creosote buildup in your chimney.
Helverson Brothers offers firewood delivery to Doylestown, Quakertown, Warrington, Riegelsville, Nockimixon, Springtown, Plumstead, Perkasie, Jamison, Hatfield, Chalfont, New Britain, and Solebury, in addition to Ottsville. They also provide local pickup if you prefer to haul wood yourself, plus mulch delivery and soil delivery for landscaping projects. Pellet delivery is available for those using pellet stoves.
When ordering, ask about cord sizing — a full cord measures 128 cubic feet and typically costs $250–$450 in the Ottsville area depending on wood type and delivery distance. Quarter-cord and half-cord quantities are also available for smaller projects.
Call (610) 847-5448 to discuss your specific needs, confirm seasoning standards, and request a delivery quote. The company serves a broad geographic footprint across central Bucks County, making them accessible whether you're in town or a few miles out.

"Their website advertised the highest quality, clean, 16-inch stove wood. I ordered 1 cord. Half the wood is undercut and too big to fit into my large fireplace let alone a wood stove. Wood is fairly dirty too."
"I honestly don’t have much to compare it to, and most of the firewood companies have pretty bad reviews. I figured it’d be easiest to show in pictures what I received. I ordered 1.5 cords of wood. Everything that is not stacked, is wood that was barely split, that I am halfway done manually splitting it. This wood also not really seasoned."
"Green wood and 1/2 of the delivery needed to be further split - huge 20lb, half-trunk splits. Been ordering for years and have received some green in the past but this is unusable this season. Tried a few of the 'dryer' pieces this weekend and wouldn't burn. Will store for next year and find another supplier moving forward."
"I ordered 2 cords of wood from Helverson Brothers, and received the highest quality oak the next day. The service is impeccable, and you're sure to benefit from any advice that Barry has to offer. Thank you!"
"I ordered a cord of wood from the Helverson brothers. In my initial inquiry to them I specified my need to burn this would immediately, expressing that I have several cords of wood on my property that are split and not yet fully seasoned. I was assured that their wood would be ready to burn. They were excellent in communication, and delivery was prompt as promised. When I received the wood it had a little bit of snow on it. Looking concerned, I was instructed to stack it in my garage with a box fan for a couple of days. The wood looks beautiful mostly all Oak, and cut to consistent usable sizes. After 2 weeks of running a fan on this wood it still felt heavy, so I bought a propane heater and ran that for a couple of days. Now im wasting money to heat my garage and running a fan(the wood was now reading about 14% moisture on outside but still wet feeling by weight). The wood was still too wet after 3 weeks, and with dropping Temps headed our way I decided to split it down even smaller to dry it faster. I was very dissatisfied to find the wood is not even close to being seasoned. Using my moisture meter to read inside (split wood now) at over 40% moisture. Unfortunately I was assured I was getting usable wood and I received garbage that I cannot use until next year. I'm very disappointed that I've been lied to and my money has been taken from me. I would have been better off spending the money towards filling my oil tank. If you're looking to get usable seasoned wood for your fireplace this is unfortunately not the company. Spend your money somewhere else. I was lied to and lost my money on this one."
