Why Smith Straw
They're brokers. They buy straw trucked in from Georgia or Florida warehouses, mark it up, and deliver it to your driveway. By the time it reaches you, the bales have been sitting around for weeks — and you're paying middleman prices.
We're different. We rake our own pine straw from local longleaf pines, bale it ourselves, and bring it to your property — usually the same day you call. That's why our straw is fresher, holds its color longer, and costs less than the brokers.

Questions We Get Asked
Longleaf pine straw is the fallen needles of the longleaf pine (Pinus palustris), Alabama's state tree, raked and baled for use as landscape ground cover. It holds its reddish color longer than other pine straw, locks together on slopes, and feeds the soil as it breaks down. We harvest ours fresh from local longleaf farms in Baldwin County.
Big box straw sits on pallets for weeks or months. It's dry, brittle, and faded by the time you spread it. Ours is raked fresh, baled, and delivered usually within a week. You'll see the difference in color and how long it holds up.
All of our straw comes from local longleaf pine farms in Baldwin County, Alabama. Richard is a 4th-generation Baldwin County pine farmer, so every bale is raked fresh from local longleaf stands — never aged in a warehouse, never trucked in from out of state.
For most Gulf Coast beds, yes. Pine straw retains soil moisture, suppresses weeds, holds in place on slopes where mulch washes out, and returns nutrients to the soil as it decomposes. A refresh is also faster and cheaper than re-mulching.
Both. If you want to spread it yourself, we'll drop the bales wherever you want. If you'd rather we handle it, our crew will spread, tuck around plants, and edge the beds so it looks done right.
