Groundcovers

Groundcovers add color and texture to bare soil and large expanses of granite or rock mulch. From a design sense, groundcovers help unify and blend separate elements of the landscape. These plants also soften hardscape features like low walls, walkways, and patio areas. Beyond the visual interest groundcovers add, they serve beneficial purposes such as stabilizing soil, minimizing dust, and shading bare surfaces. When selecting your groundcovers, it’s important to keep their mature size and space requirements in mind—avoid planting them too close to walkways or other plants to prevent the need for frequent trimming or pruning.
