If anyone has unlimited access to high-quality local hardwood, it’s your local team of tree surgeons. In fact, many of them have such an excess of chopped wood that they struggle to shift it all.
With countless hardwood logs for sale in Essex, for this article, we thought we’d ask a team of tree specialists how best to use local logs this Winter – providing inspiration for homeowners and showing them just how versatile hardwood logs are at this time of year.
1. Indoor Fireplace
By far the most common use for hardwood logs at this time of year is to keep homeowners warm during the cold evenings and nights.
If you are lucky enough to have a functional and working fireplace in your property, then lighting a fire can not only enhance the warmth of your space but also create an enviable ambience throughout your home. Cutting down on your reliance on central heating, and thereby lowering the cost of heating your home using gas, having a working fireplace is a great way to upgrade your home life and fill your property with a cosy warmth and a crackling fire.
Hardwood logs burn better and more cleanly and are seasoned for easy lighting.
2. Outdoor Firepit
Of course, it’s not all indoor fireplaces and cosy nights in at this time of year. In fact, we think there’s no better way to enjoy a crisp winter evening than around a blazing fire, with mugs of hot chocolate and marshmallows on sticks.
If you have a firepit or want to build a well-controlled fire to enhance your outside space, then investing in some well-seasoned hardwood logs is the best way to keep your fire burning consistently all night long.
This is a particularly popular idea for bonfire night, new year, and festive celebrations as you enjoy carol singing and mulled wine with the local community.
3. Decorative Stacking
Our third and final use of local hardwood logs is for décor. Bringing the very best of the local environment into your home, with chopped logs that stack neatly and add texture to your inside space, picking up a few bags of wood to stack in your hallway or garage adds an effortless sense of rustic design flair.
What’s more, as and when you do need some firewood for a bonfire, BBQ, or something else, you’ll always have some well-seasoned and extra dry logs ready to go.
Regardless of how and when you choose to use them, buying some local hardwood logs is an excellent way to make use of natural materials, ensuring that every part of a tree that has been removed gets used.
