BENEFITS OF MULCH OVER PINE STRAW IN ATLANTA

Mulch Reduces the growth of weeds, prevents weed germination and smothers existing weeds. Pine straw tends to allow weeds to grow faster and becomes a problem to maintain on a regular basis.

Reduces the amount of water that will evaporate from your soil. A layer of mulch acts like a protective top soil that will keep the ground cooler and allow it to hold in more moisture. Pine Straw does not offer this type of protection.

You will need 40 bales of pine straw to cover 1,000 square feet, costing $140 per year. The same area is covered by 6.17 cubic yards of mulch costing $104 per year.

Lasts Longer: Typically pine straw has to be installed 1-2 times per year to keep your yard looking fresh. If mulch is installed correctly, you only have to install every two years, or apply a light refresh every year.
