There is some sedum of sorts in the stones in the walkway already. I am not a stepford gardner and I think the most unruley of gardens are beautiful but have to keep in mind the neighborhood HOA so nothing that won't completely take over the yard but I will have some edging (probably brick of some sorts) on the other side of the pathway so it shouldn't be too hard to control.

Please help me. I've done a search on stepables.com but they give me different ones each time and when I put in my exact conditions it gives me nothing. I'd rather have experience then a quiz.

I had an area somewhat similar to yours. No groundcover worked. Why? Because of the aforementioned parking situation which causes the passenger to step directly into whatever was planted. Because of winter salting (it's cold and icy here). Because it ended up being too much maintenance waiting for anything to establish.

My solution: I gathered large rocks, dug out the area in question, laid the rocks so they were a relatively flat surface (need to dig out spots) and 'mosaiced' them with cement. The area is completely maintenance-free.

This may not be what you had in mind, but it worked in my situation. Good luck with whatever you try.
