• For the natural look it gives your landscape

• Pine straw does not become hard and compacted it is light and airy

• Pine straw will not wash away after a heavy rainfall and it holds on slopes.

• No trees are destroyed in the production of pine straw

* Not really a straw at all but the pine needles that fall from the trees. Usually sold in bales like straw these needles make an excellent mulch that is weed free and breaks down well in the garden.
