Seasoned Logs from Tyning Landscapes
At Tyning Landscapes, we supply seasoned firewood for homes with wood burners, open fires, fire pits, and outdoor cooking areas. Our logs for sale are cut to a variety of sizes and supplied in dumpy bag size loads, then tipped loose on delivery.
Our seasoned log delivery service is designed to be simple and practical. We can deliver 1, 2, or up to 4 dumpy bag size loads in our Land Rover tipper, depending on the order and access. For larger orders, we can deliver up to 8 bag size loads in our tipper trailer.
We offer free delivery within 20 minutes of Holcombe, Radstock, covering many local homes around Radstock, Frome, parts of Bath, and nearby Somerset villages.
The logs are:
What we supply | What it means for a fire |
Well seasoned logs | Lower moisture than fresh cut timber |
Air dried logs | Dried naturally with good airflow |
Various sizes | Suitable for many stoves and fires |
Loose tipped delivery | Easy unloading without extra packaging |
Dumpy bag size loads | A practical quantity for home storage |
Seasoned logs and why seasoning matters
Freshly cut timber contains a lot of water. That water has to go somewhere when the log is placed on a fire. If the wood is not seasoned, much of the fire’s energy is spent boiling off moisture instead of heating the room.
That is why seasoned logs are so different from wet or green wood. Good logs light more easily, burn hotter, and create less smoke. They also help a stove reach the right operating temperature, which supports a cleaner burn.
For home owners, this makes a clear difference. A properly burning wood burner gives a steadier heat, cleaner glass, less smell, and less frustration. A struggling fire needs constant attention and often produces more smoke than warmth.
Customers sometimes search for seasond logs when they mean properly seasoned logs. The spelling is less important than the quality. What matters is that the firewood has had enough time and airflow to dry before it reaches the hearth.
How wood becomes properly seasoned
Seasoning is the process of letting cut timber dry before it is burned. Wood dries best when it is cut, split, stacked, and exposed to moving air.
The process usually involves several steps.
The timber is cut into suitable lengths.
Larger pieces are split to expose more surface area.
The logs are stacked so air can move through them.
The stack is kept off very wet ground where possible.
The top may be covered to shed rain, while the sides stay open to breathe.
Time and airflow allow moisture to leave the wood.
Air dried logs are not made by rushing the process. They need space and patience. The aim is to reduce moisture so the wood is ready for the kind of clean, bright burn that suits domestic wood burners and fires.
A simple sign of good logs is how they feel and sound. Seasoned logs often feel lighter than wet timber. They may show small cracks at the ends and can make a clearer sound when knocked together. Wet wood often feels heavy, cold, and dull.
Logs for sale and the problems caused by wet wood
Burning wet logs can cause more than an annoying fire. It can create real problems for the stove, flue, chimney, and home.
Wet wood often causes:
Issue | Why it happens |
Poor heat output | Energy is wasted turning water into steam |
Excess smoke | The fire cannot reach a clean burn temperature |
Blackened stove glass | Damp wood produces more soot and tar |
More deposits in the flue | Smoke cools and leaves residue behind |
Unpleasant smells | Damp fuel can smoulder rather than burn cleanly |
More frequent maintenance | Stoves and chimneys need more cleaning |
One of the biggest concerns is the build up of tar and soot inside the flue or chimney. Over time, this can restrict airflow and increase the risk of problems. Wet fuel can also contribute to chimney damage, especially where deposits, damp, and heat affect the structure.
A wood burner is designed to work best with dry, suitable fuel. If the logs are too wet, the appliance has to work against the fuel rather than with it. That is why well seasoned logs are not a luxury, they are part of using a stove safely and efficiently.
Logs for sale with local delivery near Holcombe and Radstock
We know that firewood needs to be easy to order, easy to receive, and ready to store. Our local delivery service helps with that.
We sell dumpy bag size loads of seasoned logs and deliver them loose tipped. This suits customers who have a log store, outbuilding, covered area, or suitable place where the logs can be tipped.
Our Land Rover tipper is useful for smaller deliveries and tighter access. Our tipper trailer is suitable for larger orders of up to 8 bag size loads where access allows.
We offer free local delivery within 20 minutes of Holcombe, Radstock. If there are access concerns, narrow lanes, sloping drives, or a preferred tipping area, it helps to let us know when ordering. That way, we can plan the right vehicle and make the delivery as smooth as possible.
Once delivered, logs should be stored where air can circulate. A log store with open sides is ideal. Avoid sealing logs inside a fully closed plastic sheet, as trapped moisture can slow drying and encourage mould. Keeping rain off the top is useful, but airflow around the sides is just as important.
Logs for sale and log splitter hire for larger timber
Some customers already have rounds of timber from tree work or fallen branches. These rounds can be too large to dry well or fit into a stove. Splitting them makes a big difference.
At Tyning Landscapes, we also offer a log splitter hire service. If you have tree rounds that need splitting, we have a petrol powered hydraulic splitter that can be towed to the site with an operator for hire.
This service is helpful when:
Tree rounds are too large to move easily.
Timber needs splitting before it can season properly.
A home owner has wood on site but no suitable splitter.
Large pieces need reducing to a more practical size.
Splitting by hand would take too long or be too demanding.
Splitting timber speeds up drying because more of the wood is exposed to air. Large unsplit rounds can stay wet inside for a long time. Once split, stacked, and aired, the timber has a much better chance of becoming useful firewood.
Logs for sale alongside cherry picker hire for different trades
Although this post focuses on firewood, Tyning Landscapes is also known for cherry picker hire. We work with home owners, trades, contractors, and specialist teams that need safe access at height.
Cherry picker hire can be useful for many jobs where ladders are not practical or safe enough. This includes roof inspections, building maintenance, tree related work, chimney access, and high level cleaning.
We regularly support different trades and property jobs, including:
Trade or task | How cherry picker hire helps |
Roofers | Safer access for inspections and repairs |
Builders | Working at height around walls, roofs, and elevations |
Chimney specialists | Access to stacks, pots, and high masonry |
Tree surgeons | Controlled access around branches and awkward positions |
Property maintenance teams | Reaching gutters, fascias, and cladding |
Media crews | Stable elevated positions for filming and photography |
For production companies, location teams, and camera crews, we also provide hiring a cherry picker for TV and film. A cherry picker can create an elevated camera angle, support lighting work, or help with controlled access on set.
We also help with property care tasks such as gutter cleaning and cleaning solar panels. These jobs are much easier when access is planned properly and carried out with suitable equipment.
For home owners, this means Tyning Landscapes can help with more than one seasonal need. We can supply firewood for the colder months and provide cherry picker access for maintenance jobs throughout the year.
Logs for sale frequently asked questions
Do your logs for sale come in bags or loose tipped?
Our seasoned logs are sold as dumpy bag size loads, but they are tipped loose on delivery. This makes delivery simple and avoids leaving extra packaging behind.
How dry are your logs for sale?
Our logs are seasoned and air dried. This means they have been given time and airflow to reduce moisture, making them much better suited to fires and wood burners than freshly cut wood.
Can your logs for sale be delivered locally?
Yes. We offer free delivery within 20 minutes of Holcombe, Radstock. We can deliver using the Land Rover tipper for smaller loads or the tipper trailer for larger orders.
Why are well seasoned logs for sale better than wet logs?
Well seasoned logs produce more heat, light more easily, and create less smoke. Wet logs waste energy, can blacken stove glass, and can leave more deposits inside the flue or chimney.
