Pine straw, mulch or rock

Each one has a job. Pine straw and mulch break down and feed the soil; rock lasts for years and handles water.

How we refresh a bed

Old straw or mulch that has matted down gets cleared out, and weeds are pulled by hand. We don’t spray herbicide. Bed edges are cut clean so the lawn stops creeping in.

Then the bed is filled evenly and tucked in around shrubs, along walks and against the house. Pine straw goes down thick enough to cover the soil completely, because it settles over the first few weeks.

Fall is the best time for pine straw around Mobile. Fresh straw is easy to get, and it insulates roots through winter and looks good going into the holidays.

Questions we get

Pine straw is lighter, cheaper to refresh and stays put on slopes. Mulch gives a darker, more finished look and holds moisture well. Rock lasts for years and is the better choice where water runs off a roof. We’ll suggest what fits each bed.

Thick enough that no soil shows through. Fresh pine straw settles over the first few weeks, so it goes down fuller than it ends up.

Fall is the most popular time on the Gulf Coast, and many people refresh again in spring. Faded or thin straw can be topped up any time of year.
