Quickstraw covers 100 square ft at 2-3” in depth which compares to 2 standard square bales. Remember that bales are made by hand so there is no industry standard size. Using 100 square feet as your guide is the best way to plan!

Not all plants tolerate the acidic soil created by pine needles, while other plants, from berries to vegetables, thrive with pine needle mulch, so plant accordingly. Pine straw is most commonly used as a ground cover mulch and landscape beautification component. It is also used for gardening nesting and erosion control.  Due to its acidity, pine straw is also a natural pre-emergent! It contains just enough acidity to keep those weeds down without the use of traditional pre-emergent chemicals.

All of our pine straw products, including Quickstraw are 100% natural.

After installing the pine straw, go back and blow it at a 45* angle. This will “roll” the straw in a cleanly rolled edge.  After this, you can take it one step farther by tucking it into place with a flat-edged shovel. This will make sure the pine straw stays in place and looks neat and clean. 

In order for your landscape to look its best, we suggest using pine straw 1-2 times per year, with approximately 6 months between each installation.  We recommend an early season application while the color is still fresh and vibrant.  This means that your second application would be late summer giving you a fresh look going into the holiday season.
