where to buy pine straw in bulk (Atlanta)?

Posted by mayland 7/8 ATL (My Page) on

We need to buy a lot of pine straw. Probably around 50 bales. We're planning to rent a truck and drive to wherever its cheapest (rather than do 10 trips with our wagon!).

We live in Decatur/Druid Hills...does anyone have any suggestions for landscape supply places to go to on the east side of town? I know I've seen a few places outside the perimeter/85 or 316 or 78, but I cant remember exactly where.

Thanks for your advice!

One thing about Pinestraw, it is pretty much the same price anywhere. If it varies, it is usually just a variance of .20 cents a bail or so.
You can call Lowes, Home Depot, and any of the larger nurseries or landscape supply places in the Yellow Pages to find out their current weekly price. Sometimes it varies from week to week to.
Last year I bought mine from Buck Jones and just had it delivered as it was $50 for the delivery and worth the price compared to renting a vehicle.

There are a number of vendors near Atlanta that will deliver
Pine straw (and install it, if you want that service).
Check several of them for pricing and if delivery charge is extra.
Here's a link to the GA Dept of Agriculture Market Bulletin that list several ads.

Thank you both, I will call around and get prices. GGG, thats a good point about delivery cost vs truck rental cost, it hadn't occured to me to have it delivered (feels so extravagant!). Rb, thanks for the bulletin, thats a great source.

I deal with a wholesale company out of Florida that is pretty cheap for pine straw delivery to Georgia. They are called Custom Pine Straw. Pretty good company to deal with, the owner Larry is a good guy.

We've been to several places that have been completely out.

Victoria, thanks for the link.
