HAve you had pine straw before?
If not be aware that it does decompose and has to be replaced/redoneevry year or sometimes every other year.
Also it is a perfect domicile for bugs/snakes/critters of all kinds.
Looks nice in the beginning but looses it's color and tends to mat down as it decomposes.

Rock may be more expensive but much cleaner and you buy it once. If you are do it yourself capable or desire to do so you can save over 50% of what a contractor will charge you. Rock is available from several sources around TV at substantially lower prices than having it brought in, etc.
