Ground Covers

Ground cover is typically used where it is not practical to grow a lawn, for instance on a slope, in rocky or shady areas. They also can be used to unify an area landscaped in shrubs and/or trees.

A ground cover planting is essentially ”living mulch", suppressing weeds, softening surfaces and conserving the necessary moisture in the soil. The roots of these plants are helpful with erosion control on rockeries and hillsides. Working with ground covers offers endless choices and possibilities for your garden design. Let us help you sort out the best solution for you.

Here are some things to consider:

• Evergreen/deciduous/herbaceous
• Foliage color/texture
• Bloom/ no bloom
• Container/planter
• Foot traffic
