More Information on Groundcovers From a design sense, groundcovers help unify and blend separate elements of the landscape. Regarded as problem solvers, groundcovers' many uses include stabilizing soil, minimizing dust, shading and cooling bare surfaces, and creating visual interest. They also soften hardscape features, such as low walls, walkways, and patio areas. Groundcovers grow from a few inches to a few feet high, and some can spread several feet wide. Select them with mature size, especially spread, in mind. Avoid planting them too close to walkways or other plants to prevent the need for frequent trimming or pruning.
