Converting Grass to Ground Cover
I’ve been working on the landscaping in my backyard for a while now. I’ve gradually completed a bunch of improvements in the plantings, and I’m really happy with most of the results. One area that has been slightly frustrating is the area at the back of the property. There are several tall oak trees which create a shade canopy in that area, which causes the grass to grow very poorly. I’ve decided to remove the grass in that area altogether, and to replace it with a shade loving ground cover. I’ve been doing some research, and even though I’ve looked at many types of ground cover, I think I’m going to go with Pachysandra. There is already some of it on my property, and I think I may even be able to transplant some of it to the new area. A bed of Pachysandra in that area would be a huge improvement over the existing grass.
