Where to Retail Purchase pine straw
 

We need to add to the original developer pine straw in our front beds. Has any one purchased this from a nursery or paid a landscaper for the pine straw and the spread job. Thanks for the help.

We need to do this too! There is a landscape place on 466A right past Colony Plaza on the way to Fruitland Park. I know of neighbors going there to purchase bales of this straw. I think it's about $5.00 bale. Hope this is helpful for you!

If you have pets beware; pine straw can have loads of ticks.:yuck:

Southern Aggregates on Rolling Acres Road sells pine straw. They're across from Ro-Mac Lumber and Supply and fairly close to the intersection of US 27/441 and Rolling Acres. I keep 30 gallon trash bags in my car and whenever I'm running low on pine straw, I pick up some bales when I'm in the area near Home Depot, Kohl's, etc. A bale fits nicely in the bag and the bag keeps the trunk clean.

Fairfield Farms on CR 301, north of 466, also sells pine straw.

I have used the nursery just past Colony Plaza. The cost was $4.00 per bale. There is a delivery charge of $25.00 for any number of bales. When I do my property I need about 65 bales so delivery is necessary. However, if you only need a few, the bales fit nicely into 30 gallon garbage bags, so you can put them in your car and not make a mess.

i used the supplier on rolling acres,
they have a very nice employee that loaded the car and also showed me the way to spread the straw. i came during their lunch break, he stopped his break and loaded the car, with a smile and a sincer "thanks for your business" and a hand shake. when would you receive that treament at the "big box" stores? shop local and support the small guy.

is it proper to tip the employee that does little extra ??

If you buy several bails, Southern Agg. will deliver
 

nice people to work with....Highly recommend!
