2024 Update*
Pine Straw is organic, sustainable, and renewable, natural. Our straw is fresh from nature with no added chemicals or “fillers”, unlike many types of wood mulch.
All of our Straw is baled manually, by hand, and harvested locally in South GA. Manual baling insures you get less trash and sticks in your straw. This process never requires the cutting down or grinding up any trees. We focus on getting you the cleanest and highest quality product possible.
Once the straw has been installed, it will remain in place even with high winds after settling. We recommend you to get new pine straw at least two times per year. You will see the straw start turning grey, this shows that decomposition is worked its way to the top layer. You can put out the straw more often if you are concern with aesthetics. A light fresh layer on top does a lot to change the look. Also, Each Bale weighs approx. 12lbs.
Pine Straw Installation Pricing
Price is a simple $9.00 per bale both delivered and installed. Delivery is a flat $80 for up to 100 bale. You can also purchase pine straw from our shop at 2015 Dahlonega Hwy. Cumming Ga. If you pick up at the store it’s $4.75/bale.

Why Use Pine Straw?
- Soil Enhancement The acidity of pine straw mulch is similar to that of rain water, which encourages the growth of flowers, shrubs, trees, etc.
- Nitrogen is released into the soil as the straw breaks down. This helps provide your plants with essential nutrients to grow. It great for acidic soil loving plants like rhododendron, blueberry, azalea and holly.
- Air and Moisture pass freely to & from the soil beneath the straw (needles) allowing the soil to breathe in its natural fashion.
- Mold and Fungus Prevention – pine straw reduces the possibility of problematic mold and fungus as a direct result of allowing moisture to move freely into and out of the soil that is covered by the pine straw.
- Erosion Control Pine Straw greatly reduces the erosion of soil, particularly on sloped areas that receive consistent rain fall or irrigation.
- Weed Suppression will be achieved naturally as sun light is effectively is blocked from the soil underneath the needles, while still allowing air and moisture to pass freely.
- Environmentally Friendly Option Pine needles are harvested after they have fallen off the trees. No trees are cut down to create this product. By purchasing pine straw instead of mulch you are actively helping one of Georgia’s most endangered ecosystem.
Pine needles also serve as a natural repellent to unwanted pests in the garden. The slightly acidic smell and prickly texture deters voles, moles, slugs and even cats and dogs. When considering the type of mulch to use in your landscaping beds or gardens that contact directly up to houses, barns or other wooden structures, one should keep in mind that pine needles do not attract termites like some wood mulches.
