How much pine straw do I need? Top
A bale of pine straw covers approximately 50 square feet. Use our simple bale calculator to help you figure out just how much you need.
 
Should I take up the old straw before I put the new down? Top
No. Straw disintegrates much quicker on bare dirt than on old straw.
 
What should I do about weeds in my beds? Top
Our recommendation would be to cut the weeds down low with a weed eater then spray them with a weed killer (roundup,etc). Between the loss of sunlight with the straw application and the weed killer you should have good results.
 
What type of straw do you sell? Top
There are basically three types of straw available:
            Loblolly (short needle)
            Slash (long needle)
            Long-leaf (super long-needle)
Loblolly straw is not very good in color and breaks down quickly.

Slash has good color and last longer. 99% of the straw used in Metro Atlanta is slash.
Long-leaf is the premium straw but unfortunately is just not available in large quantities.
 
When you deliver the straw where do you put it? Top
We will put the bales basically anywhere you would like, as long as we can get our truck within 15 feet.  Most deliveries are dropped off either at the end of the driveway or in a pine island in the front yard.
