| I'm planning on replacing all of the grass in our front yard with ground cover.Does anyone have any ideas on some durable ground covers that will spread quickly and can take occassional traffic? I've thought about sedums but I'm not sure that they can handle being walked on. |

| They can, but it depends on how much walking on they receive. Is the area full sun, full shade, or some of both? What's the soil like? How much moisture does the area receive and do you want to depend just on that or supplemental water? What's the maximum height you want? creeping jenny Personally, I would do either a prairie planting with some sort of pathways or use a variety of plants, not just groundcovers, for some variety in color, height, foliage, and so on. |
