Ground cover plants are an easy and effective way to fill bare patches of earth in your yard. Whether you are dealing with a tricky slope or a shady spot under a large tree, ground cover plants provide year-round interest with minimal effort.
As a former professional gardener, I have cared for numerous different ground cover species in gardens where I have worked. Not only do they look good, but they are also practical, binding the soil with strong root systems to prevent heat and water erosion.
