| Sometimes you can't
plant grass or cover a bare area where nothing seems to grow that is
green or has color. You may have a steep slope where grass seed
runs off and never gets to root or you may want to cover some nasty tree
roots. The shade of a large tree, shrub or structure
blocks sufficient light or dry or wet areas, can all have color and look great if you
plant a ground cover. There is no reason for any
landscape to have a barren area unless you want it that way.
Ground covers carpet the landscape with low plants that are not meant to be walked on. Ground covers are ornamental, they are a colorful alternative to grass or a solution for a problem area. They also prevent soil erosion. Shallow rooted ground covers are best planted under trees. The best time to plant ground covers is in the Spring or Fall. |
