We’re trained professional pine straw and mulch installers! As with anything ground cover product, there’s a “right way” to install pine straw ground cover. Pine straw should be spread 2 – 3 inches deep on the ground surface. Whether you receive your pine straw in bales or rolls, the pine straw should be taken in handfuls and shaken over desired area so that it is evenly distributed in a loose, airy & light manner. Our installers will then use their landscaping tools to “roll under” the edges of the installed pine straw, which provides a more finished appearance while also serving to help secure the pine straw into the desired location. It takes more time to do it this way, but doing so will provide a very attractive ground cover and maximize the square footage coverage from each bale or roll.
