I previously submitted the question below and was asked for some photos, which I provided but never heard anything more so I'm resubmitting everything: Good evening, I'm new at landscaping and have a couple questions about what to do with one part of my yard. The western portion of my yard is a steep hill that I'm tired of mowing. I'm hoping to plant some low growing ground cover with a few native plants interspersed. My first question is do you have any recommendations for the ground cover portion? Since it's the western slope, it has a mix of afternoon sun and partial shade. I'm hoping to plant something that needs very little to no maintenance. Also, do I need to kill off the grass before planting or will the ground cover "take over" once established? Any suggestions would be helpful! Thanks much!
