Welcome to E&L Enterprise, Inc., distributor of Textraw®

Textraw® is synthetic pine straw made from recycled polypropylene and can be recycled at end of its long and useful life.  Textraw® does not absorb water or chemicals, saving you money and helping you plants thrive.  Textraw® cuts mulch and maintenance costs by thirty percent, reduces weeds and insects, is better for your plants and looks great year-round. 

Compared to traditional pine straw, there is no annual volume loss since Textraw® does not decompose.  It is UV-stabilized, tested and warranted to retain its color for four years.  Textraw® maintains breath-ability; helping to oxygenate soil and deters both mold and fungus growth.  Temperatures must exceed 570-575 degrees Fahrenheit  for Textraw® to ignite.  Ignition sources, such as discarded cigarettes, generally burn cooler than this point.

Each bale of Textraw® covers approximately sixty square feet at a depth of three and a half inches.  Textraw® stays in place very well on steep slopes and leaves can be either blown off or vacuumed from Textraw® when installed with a coating of StayPut spray.  StayPut is a water-soluble, environmentally friendly tackifier that will increase the surface adhesion of Textraw®.  The departments of transportation of Florida, North Carolina and South Carolina have approved Textraw® for erosion control.

Textraw® was featured in the October, 2006 Edition of Southern Living Magazine. 

Textraw® was developed and tested over a 4 year period in Thomasville, Georgia.  It was awarded U.S. Patent # 6,615,536 in 2003.
