Pine straw, mulch & flower beds in Madison, MS
Beds weeded, edged and dressed in fresh straw or mulch, quoted by the bale.
Pine straw and mulch applications
The fastest way to make a yard look cared for.
Fresh pine straw changes a house from the street in a single afternoon.
It is also one of the services we list by name: pine straw application for flower beds.
Before a bale is opened, the beds get cleaned up. Weeds come out and the edges are cut back in.
Then the straw goes down evenly and gets tucked along the borders so the line stays sharp.
Prefer the look of mulch? We do mulch applications as well, laid to an even depth.
Either way the beds end up weeded, defined and finished, not just covered over.
When it is in season
Most yards get fresh straw twice a year: early spring and again in fall.

Local knowledge
Why the South runs on pine straw
Pine straw is the classic Mississippi bed cover. It is light, it knits together, and it stays put on a slope.
It suits the plants Madison yards are full of. Azaleas, camellias and hollies are all acid-loving.
Mississippi State University Extension calls for mulch two to three inches deep around trees and shrubs.
That layer holds moisture through July and August, keeps roots cooler and shades out weed seedlings.
Straw fades and settles over a season, which is why most homes refresh it in spring and again in fall.
A fall application has the beds looking sharp right through the holidays.
