Pine Straw
Pine straw is a classic choice for New Bern landscapes. Harvested from our local Southern longleaf pines, it provides a lightweight, natural texture that blends seamlessly with the local environment. It is particularly effective in large beds, around established trees, and on the slopes common in our area.
- Great for weed suppression
- Helps hold moisture in the soil
- Gentle on tree roots and shrubs
- Stays in place on slopes better than many mulches
- Natural, clean look that fits Carolina landscapes

Types of Ground Cover We Offer
Think of ground cover as a protective blanket for your garden beds. It does more than just look good—it keeps weeds at bay, traps moisture where your plants need it most, and maintains soil health throughout the changing Carolina seasons. At Forged Oak, we help you choose the right fit for your New Bern property.
Mulch
For homeowners who want a polished, structured appearance, our premium shredded mulch is the ideal choice. It creates a rich dark contrast that makes your plants pop and works beautifully in high-visibility areas like front entrance beds and formal walkways.
- Strong curb appeal with rich color
- Helps block weeds
- Adds organic matter as it breaks down
- Protects roots from heat and cold
- Works well in high-visibility beds and walkways
