I moved into a new build with an island in my circular driveway. There is sand there. There is a water hydrant, yard light and a well there.
I am looking to plant low spreading evergreen bushes or ground cover. Junipers give me terrible rash - so no junipers! I like holly bushes and mini mugo pines?
The black circle is a free trampoline bed and there will just be mulch over that area. I want no maintenance spreaders that are native with more shallow roots that can fill in around my boulders. Just want them to be low as to not block the boulders.
I am in Oak Grove along the Rum River. I have relocated from CO, and need advice on what grows best here.
I also need advice on what native grass is suggested for alongside the driveway. The covenants want grass (they don't say LAWN) - but I would like a no mow native type. Does that come in a roll out carpet mat like they use along highways? Seeding that would be so expensive and take me forever.
