What Customers Are Saying

The product has received mixed reviews regarding its quality. While some customers reported the pine needles were long, fresh, and had minimal debris, the majority of reviews indicate the quality was poor, with excessive amounts of sticks, pine cones, leaves, and other unwanted materials mixed in. Many customers were dissatisfied with the smaller-than-expected bale sizes and the presence of old, dried out, or moldy needles. Overall, the quality and value of the product seem inconsistent.

Less than expected

Would Not Recommend

Bails had medium natural debris including sticks, pine cones, grass, weeds and vines and also metal cans and paper. Yet, most disappointedly, the bails were very small -- I'd call them pine straw nuggets rather than bails. Will not buy again.

The bails have a lot of sticks and are expensive.

Would Not Recommend

The long leaf pine needles were of good quality, but there were a fair amount of pine cones and sticks that took up space in the bail. The price has gone up every year too and has become too expensive.

bad bales

Would Not Recommend

absolute worst bunch of pine needles I've ever gotten from Lowes . Small bales, very loosely packed, just not good at all.

Pine Needle bales were the worst bales I've ever purchased. I've always purchased them from Lowe's but never again. The bales were much smaller, wet on the inside and full of vines and leaves. They were also so compacted it was very difficult to break apart to spread. I realize prices have increased but $7 per bales for that low of quality was ridiculous. Never again will I waste my time, money and effort.

Small batches full of leaves and sticks

Would Not Recommend

Beware! This is the worst pine straw. Small batches and full of leaves and many small and large sticks. Batches are really stuck together and hard to spread. I won’t buy this from Lowe’s again. Shame on you Lowe’s!!!!

Full of Junk

Would Not Recommend

Each bale contains at least 10% junk; limbs, bark, straw, cones, and prickly vines. Not only a waste of money, but the time to lay it down is doubled because you have to pick out so much junk. I easily filled a 33 gallon trash bag with the junk off of 20 bales.
