Is mulch cheaper than pinestraw?
Yes, wood mulch products are much cheaper over the long run as they decompose at a much slower rate than pinestraw. Pinestraw usually needs replacing two times a year, whereas wood mulch products will only require a light top-dressing to refresh color once every two years or so. Comparison: Our Wood Mulch vs. Pinestraw Hardwood or Cypress Mulch: To cover an area of 1,000 square feet at a 3 inch depth for a two year period will require 8 yards of our wood mulch product. At an average on the high side of $24 a yard (our price per yard for our dyed mulches is much less than $24 per yard!) the cost to cover 1,000 square feet of area is $184 for the first two year period. Pinestraw: To cover 1,000 square feet of area with pinestraw will require a minimum of 80 bales every 2 years. (40 bales per year times 2 years = 80 bales). So, 80 bales of pinestraw at a cost of $3.50 per bale needed to cover 1,000 square feet every two years = $280. (Note: Pinestraw maintains a fresh appearance for only
