Autumn's cool breeze makes this a good time to refresh your Southeast yard. Here is a look at three ground covers we carry at our stores in Mobile, AL, Baton Rouge, LA and Pensacola, FL (Gulf Kist Sod): mulch, pebbles and pine straw.
Why fall is a good time
Cooler temperatures make it more comfortable to work outside, and regular rain helps ground cover settle in. Putting it down now also helps with weed control, protects the soil and gets your beds ready for spring.
Mulch: the soil booster
Mulch holds moisture, enriches the soil and suppresses weeds. It also insulates roots from an early frost. We offer natural and dyed mulch, in bulk or bagged, at all of our locations. See our bulk products.
Pebbles: sleek and durable
Pebbles are low maintenance, never decompose and drain well. Choices run from river rock to pea gravel, and they suit paths and rock gardens. Browse our pebble stone.
Pine straw: Southern charm
Pine straw is lightweight and affordable. It slightly acidifies the soil, which helps azaleas. We carry fresh bales in Mobile, Baton Rouge and Pensacola.
Which one should you choose?
- Mulch for soil health and color.
- Pebbles for long-lasting, low-effort style.
- Pine straw if you want a budget option.
Tip: apply any of these covers 2 to 3 inches deep, and mix materials for a custom look.
