Pine straw popularity is fairly recent with golf courses, but it has been a popular landscape ground cover throughout the South for the last 25 years.  In fact, it is one of the most widely used mulches for all size projects ranging from residential flower beds to industrial complexes and highway landscapes. Landscapers, building contractors, and homeowners have discovered that pine straw has superior properties.

Unlike other dry organic ground covers such as pine bark, leaves, grass clippings, and peat moss, pine straw provides favorable growing conditions and stimulates healthy plant development.  It not only helps dress a golf course, but also provides many cost savings benefits by promoting natural fertilization and water conservation.
