Ratings & Reviews for CleanStraw Long leaf Pine needles 80 sq. ft. (at 3-in to 4-in depth)
Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
Customers appreciate the sealed packaging and convenient transport with reduced mess compared to loose bales, and many praise its cleanliness. However, significant concerns emerge around contamination—reviewers frequently report sticks, pine cones, leaves, dirt, and sand embedded in bales, falling short of the advertised 99% stick-free claim. Coverage also disappoints some, who find one compressed bag does not equal two traditional bales as claimed. Despite these drawbacks, most customers value the convenience and cleaner appearance enough to recommend it, though quality consistency remains inconsistent.

Would Not RecommendHave used it for a few years, and was happy with it. Bought 13 bundles this year and it was full of garbage. The picture is from one bag. The rest were no better.
Not the usual product.
Would Not RecommendWas disappointed in the latest purchase of Clean Straw. Lots more trash, sticks and cones that usual. Will re-think my use of this product.

Poor quality
Would Not RecommendI bought 4 bales of Clean Straw yesterday and it was short needle and very poor quality. Took 4 bales to cover a small area instead of the usual 2 bales. Very different from the last 2 years I bought Clean Straw.

Long vs others

I like these bales. They are neat and keep the pine straw dry until I am ready to use it.

Overpriced
Would Not RecommendSorry, but this is twice the price and not NEARLY twice as much in a standard bale. Only purchased because Lowes was out of the bales. Too much money spent
Does have bits of pine cones and twigs but few
Would RecommendEasy to use and looks great!! I've been using this same pine needle for several years

Clean Straw can look good, but keep it dry
Would RecommendI have bought Clean Straw before, and the needles were all dry and mostly reddish as they should be. These two packages looked as if they had been stored in the rain; the straw was wet down to the core, and the needles had deteriorated in length and in color.
