Why Ground Cover Matters

Mulch and pine straw aren’t just for looks — they play a critical role in landscape health and maintenance. Properly installed, they suppress weeds, regulate soil temperature, conserve moisture, and create a tidy, finished look for beds, trees, and borders.

But not all applications are equal. Uneven spreading, low-quality materials, or skipping bed prep can shorten the lifespan of your investment. At LawnPros LLC, we use high-quality mulch and straw, prepare each site carefully, and apply everything by hand for complete coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What’s the difference between mulch and pine straw?

    Mulch is made from shredded wood and offers a more formal appearance. Pine straw is made from dried pine needles and provides a softer, natural look. Both offer weed suppression and moisture retention, but the best option depends on your goals and property type.

  • How often should I refresh mulch or straw?

    We recommend refreshing mulch once per year and pine straw every 6–8 months, depending on weather exposure and foot traffic.

  • Can you remove old mulch before installing new material?

    Yes. We provide full bed prep and cleanup before applying new material to ensure your ground cover lasts and looks clean.

  • Do you offer seasonal mulch or straw packages?

    Yes. We can schedule automatic seasonal refreshes, or include mulch and straw installation as part of your broader landscape maintenance plan.
