Why use Pine straw? 

Pine straw is an excellent insulator that protects plant roots both in summer and winter. Also, having a layer of pine needles on the soil surface helps maintain the moisture in the soil. This benefits the plants because it will allow them to establish deep root systems.


When the soil surface is unprotected from the sun, it will dry out. Pine straw breaks down slower than bark materials, and this means the benefits last longer. Additionally, it is good around acid-loving plants like hydrangeas, rhododendrons, and camellias. There are many ways you will find to use pine straw in your garden with it being affordable and plentiful.

  • What is pine straw, and why is it used as mulch?

    Pine straw consists of the needles naturally shed by pine trees. It's an excellent mulching material 

    that helps retain moisture, control weeds, prevent erosion, and regulate soil temperature. It’s also 

    eco-friendly, as it decomposes slowly, enriching the soil over time.

  • How much pine straw do I need?

    Typically, one roll of pine straw covers about 80 square feet at a depth of around 3 inches.


     For accurate measurements, divide your total square footage by 80 to get the approximate number of rolls you’ll need. If you're unsure, feel free to contact us for help with estimating. 

  • How often should pine straw be applied?

    Pine straw mulch should generally be refreshed every 6-9 months. Adding a new layer in the spring and/or fall helps maintain its effectiveness and appearance. 

  • What types of pine straw do you offer?

    We offer Longleaf. Longleaf has a brighter, longer-lasting color and needles than other species. 


    Longleaf is high quality and an effective mulching option.
