Ice Plant Ground Cover for large yard

| My front yard in Los Angeles is in bad shape. The dead grass has been replaced by dirt and the gang of feral cats in my neighborhood use the yard as a giant litter box! Ugggggggg.
I want to plant a fast growing, thick ground cover that will discourage the cats from pooping in the yard and will also be drought resistant.
I was thinking about Ice Plant. The soil is very sandy, and the yard is in full sun. Does anyone have a suggestions or experience with planting a large area of ground cover?
Thanks!

| We live near San Diego, and have Ice Plants covering all of the side berm of our house, also in full sun. It grows fast and furious, but it is really easy to over water, the folks who planned the landscape and sprinkler system apparently didn't know that. Most of ours is yellowing and/or dead due to over-watering but since we only rent I can't and won't spend the money to have the sprinkler system revamped. I'm looking to just cheaply replace it! We have the Disneyland variety, maybe another variety would be more hardy... |
