I'm located in Houston and looking to add all new mulch to my flower beds. Would like to get this done before weather cools down. I have seen diff types of mulch at Lowes and Ace for around $3-$4 per bag (2 cubic ft). I am not sure if these are good brands and/or if that is a good deal.

Any recommendations of good quality mulch at those prices?

Can't speak to price. But Pine needles make exceptionally good mulch. So do shredded leaves.

I used pine straw last time and I don't really like it. Over time it turns to this miserable gray/brown that isn't very appealing to look at.

On the flip side, it's very cheap so you can afford to lay it down thick to keep the weeds down.

Home Depot has the good Scotts bag in the $3 range.

Good stuff

I put brown rubber mulch on a house in the heights back in 2006, I recently sold it and it looked like I mulched the day before... Not sure how much you need but if you need a couple of cubic yards this company is in Houston-
