Transform your Florida garden with professional pinestraw installation from Adam’s Earth in Summerfield. Save time, reduce weeds, and improve plant health with this natural mulch solution designed for Florida’s climate.
Experience hassle-free pinestraw installation with Adam's Earth, where we ensure optimal coverage for a beautiful, weed-resistant landscape. New and existing customers can easily reserve services, with adjustments made post-installation for actual bales used. Enjoy a professional touch that enhances your garden's health and appearance, all while saving you time.
Simply reserve the minimum of 5 bales to hold your installation service date. For final payment we'll simply revise the booking after completion to reflect the actual number of bales used & debit the difference. You'll receive an emailed receipt when payment is processed that evening.
If you've had us out in the past for installation, please also book just the minimum 5 bales and we'll adjust the booking after installation to match the actual number of bales installed. We keep records of past installations so we'll have enough on the truck.
Time is something we refuse to apologize or compensate for. There's times we're called out to spread pinestraw every 9 months to a year but then we're not called out for two years. Now we're demanded an explanation as to why the installation took +25% more bales to complete.
We're not responsible for time going by nor the weather which directly contributes to the color/density of the hand-raked/hand-baled pinestraw. Time is money and the longer you wait between having mulch spread means it's going to require more material which means it's going to cost more.
We strive to apply the optimal coverage necessary to inhibit future weed growth and a beautiful finished look. Oftentimes our customers call us out once every 12 months. This means what we apply today has to last a full year. Merely sprinkling pinestraw over large areas does little to no good to resist weeds. The premise is to attempt to keep the sunlight from reaching the soil where weeds & weed seeds always reside.
We spread the bales, hang the strings on the truck mirrors then begin cleaning-up. The last step is counting strings when we're finished. That's how we get our total.
If you have an exact number of bales in mind then please utilize our Delivered Pinestraw Bales booking option.
From experience, our installations vary from year to year based on slight variances in bale sizing, flowerbed sizing, bushes & planting variances that are entirely out of our control.. We pay our supplier a per bale price so that's why we charge our customers a per bale price. We start each day with a full truck & will have plenty available to fulfill the days scheduled services.
Please take this opportunity to confirm the bushes & planting's trimming will be completed several days before your booking. For whatever reason, we've experienced homeowners waiting until the morning of installation to complete their final trimming & having to adjust our service route to accommodate proves difficult. Please feel free to leave the clippings lay where they fall because they rapidly decompose under the fresh straw and also turn into beneficial mulch.
Thanks for booking with Adam's Earth! -Adam
Schedule your pinestraw installation ahead of peak landscaping seasons to ensure availability and optimal timing for your garden.
Lightly watering your soil before installation helps pinestraw settle better and benefits plant roots.
After installation, assess if extra bales are needed to ensure full, even coverage for best weed resistance.
Aim for a 2-3 inch layer of pinestraw to balance moisture retention with airflow for healthy plants.
Pinestraw has been traditionally used in the southeastern U.S. for decades as an affordable, effective mulch alternative.
Using pinestraw mulch promotes water conservation and soil health, reducing the need for chemical fertilizers and frequent watering.
Protect your hands when spreading or adjusting pine straw around plants.
Lightly water soil before installation to help mulch settle and support plants.

Use a rake to evenly spread the pinestraw and achieve a consistent layer.
Wear hats or sunscreen as Florida’s sun can be strong during outdoor yard work.
