A Fresh and Unique Perspective
Rebel Pine Straw specializes in selling and installing Carolina Longleaf Pine Straw. Pine Straw is a type of ground cover used most commonly in the South. The long pine needles, particularly those that fall from the Longleaf Pine, are hand raked, cleaned, and baled. Each bale is only about 12lbs. (compared to most bagged mulches at 20lbs or more).
Pine Straw acts as a better weed preventer than hardwood mulch. The interlocking pine needles will settle and help insulate plants, allowing rain water to reach the base of the plants but also preventing too much evaporation from sunlight. Pine Straw is used for erosion control and is much more effective on sloped beds and hillsides as it doesn’t easily wash out like hardwood mulch.
