I love the look of pine straw and it is good for the soil as it breaks down. However; pine straw fades Very quickly in our Florida sun and is a great nesting site for insects. The stone is nice but many people use it thinking it requires no maintenance. Even with weed block, seeds and dirt will lodge in the rock and germinate. We currently have pine straw and will be replacing it with stone. Each has it pros and cons. Go with the look you love.
