Fresh pine straw laid evenly in beds and around trees for a natural, long-lasting, easy-to-refresh mulch.
Pine straw has been a favorite landscape cover in the South for generations, and it is easy to see why. It is light and natural, stays in place on slopes, lets water through and gives beds a warm golden color that suits many homes. It also breaks down slowly, so one installation can last a long time with a simple annual refresh. In Middle Tennessee, pine straw looks especially at home under pines, around azaleas and in wooded or informal landscapes.
We install pine straw in beds, around trees and on slopes, with a layer about three to four inches deep when freshly laid, since it settles with time. We clear weeds and debris first, edge beds cleanly and bring in fresh bales, spreading evenly and tidying up as we go. We also help you decide whether pine straw or another mulch is better for a specific bed, because very windy or formal areas may suit something heavier. A simple yearly top-up keeps the look fresh and the weed suppression strong.
Pine straw lets water through and sits lightly on beds, which suits azaleas, hollies and many other plants.
The interlocking needles stay in place on slopes where other mulches wash away.
It lasts well with a simple annual top-up, which saves effort and money over time.
Windy or formal beds may be better served by a heavier mulch. We advise honestly.
