Mulch & Pine Straw
Few things beautify a Georgia landscape and add more value to your home than accenting your landscape beds with organic color enriched hardwood mulch. Mulch not only adds beauty to your property but as it breaks down it actually feeds your plants. Organic Mulch will release nutrients to the soil, help retain soil moisture and keep your trees, shrubs and flowers looking healthier, longer. At Benson Landscaping & Lawn Maintenance, LLC we accept nothing but the cleanest, most pure, triple screened, and colored Mulch. The end result is the best looking, most organically rich landscape mulch in the industry. Why would you buy anywhere else?
Mulch is a popular choice for ground cover. Not only does mulch last 3 times longer than pine straw it’s easier to maintain. We recommend initial installation to be two inches in death and every 10-12 months a one-inch refresh. The dye that is used to color the mulch is a coal-based product which insects can’t consume.
Pine Straw-
Pine straw has been a popular landscape ground cover throughout the South for the past 25 years. It is one of the most widely used ground covers for all size landscape projects. Long needle Pine Straw is an asthetically appealling reddish/brown ground cover that can be used in a variety of landscapes to enhance the texture, color, contrast, weed-deterrent capabilities and uniqueness of your landscaping. The fine texture and uniform color of pine straw is more aesthetically pleasing to some people than traditional hardwood mulch.
Pine Straw interlocks and holds together during hard rains and heavy winds, even on sloping landscapes. Because Pine Straw interlocks, pine straw will not wash out of landscape beds. The same quality by which pine straw allows for water to flow through it also helps to conserve soil moisture by reducing water evaporation rates and moisture loss. Pine straw also has the added benefit of reducing erosion caused by wind and rain-splash impact and adhering well to slopes; thus, not washing away as easily as other mulches during heavy rain.

Frequently Asked Questions — Mulch & Pine Straw Installation
How often should I refresh mulch or pine straw in Hampton, GA?
In the Hampton and Henry County area, most beds benefit from a fresh layer of mulch once a year — typically in spring. Pine straw may need refreshing twice a year due to faster decomposition. Benson Landscaping can assess your beds and recommend the right schedule.
What’s the difference between mulch and pine straw?
Mulch (wood chips or bark) breaks down slowly, adds organic matter to soil, and gives a neat, polished appearance. Pine straw decomposes faster, is lighter to install, and is a popular choice in the Southeast. Both protect plant roots, retain moisture, and suppress weeds. We install both.
How much mulch do I need for my beds?
A standard application is 2–3 inches deep. We measure your beds and calculate the right amount — you don’t need to figure it out yourself. We’ll handle delivery and installation.
Do you remove old mulch before installing new?
In most cases, we install new mulch on top of the existing layer as long as it’s not too deep. If the old mulch is matted, moldy, or excessively thick, we’ll remove it first.
