Dead grass area; want to plant ground cover #866687
Asked May 01, 2024, 7:22 PM EDT
I'm enclosing 2 pics of an area on the other side of my driveway that doesn't get enough water. My sprinkler system ends at the opposite side. I don't want to do any additional watering on that side. Is there a low moisture ground cover that I can plant over there that would flourish and require little care?

Hello,
What ever low moisture tolerant plant you decide on, you'll need to provide initial watering attention if mother nature doesn't provide in order to meet with success. I'm not sure what ground cover material you could use but whatever you choose, make sure it is suitable to the light available along that side of your yard.

Good-luck!
