Best place (ie cheapest) to get

Find some pine trees on google maps and offer to rake them up for them.

Cleggs sells them. They always seem expensive but don't have anything to compare to

I use gomez pine straw

Got some from Louisiana nursery because I only needed one bale. It was loaded with weeds. Never again

Lowe's is the cheapest. Pay at the register then drive your truck around to the pickup.

My experience as well, plus I prefer the square bales that Lowes sells over the cylindrical bales that many garden centers or Home Depot sells. Sometimes Lowes are out, in which case I buy from Cleggs, which sells both square & cylindrical bales.

OP - I require 14 square pine straw bales to mulch my front yard landscape beds - about same size house & lot as yours. 20-22 bales to include smaller side yards and backyard patio landscape beds. I tend to lay it on thick.

Home Depot has pine straw in square bags for $13.98...supposed to equal 2 regular rolls. I'm not sure about that.

I did find a few sticks and some big pine cones in a few bags but all in all not to bad.

I have a ten tree stand of mature pines next to the road…they drop needles on the asphalt and it’s super easy to rake them up into piles and move with the tractor. I usually get at least two harvests a year

I won’t rake the yard though frick that
