Frequently Asked Questions
How much area does one bale of pine straw cover?
One bale of pine straw commonly covers around 35 to 40 square feet at a typical 2 to 3 inch depth, though coverage varies by bale size and brand.
Should I round the bale count up or down?
Round the result up to the next whole bale, since pine straw is normally sold in whole bales and a partial bale purchase is usually not possible.
Why use pine straw instead of wood mulch?
Pine straw is lighter to spread, breaks down more slowly on slopes without washing away as easily, and is a popular choice in regions where pine straw is locally abundant and inexpensive.
