Why Choose Pine Straw?

When it comes to choosing a type of groundcover or mulch for your landscape, you have options. There are various types of bark and wood chips as well as the trusted pine straw mulch. While a landscaping professional can help you determine exactly which type is best for your yard needs, here are some reasons why a large majority of homeowners consistently choose pine straw.

Lasts Longer

The improved longevity of pine straw is due to the fact that it isn’t likely to float away. It also breaks down slower than many other types of mulch.

Keeps Soil and Plants Healthier

Pine straw is a highly breathable groundcover. Also, since it does not get compacted, rainwater can infiltrate the soil efficiently and evenly. Pine straw also adds needed nutrients to the soil and reduces weeds in your flowerbeds.

Easy to Spread

Pine straw is lightweight, which means it is easy to handle and spread. In general, it can cover more square footage by weight than almost any other type of mulch.

All-Natural

Pine straw is obtained naturally and without having to harvest trees. It is a natural, sustainable and often organic mulch product.

Erosion Control

This is a very valued feature of pine straw. By surrounding your plants and flowers in this mulch, you can avoid erosion. Pine straw is excellent for sloped areas in your yard or around walkways.

Appealing

Pine straw has an even color and neutral tone to add visual appeal to your landscape.
