Ground Cover

Ground covers are usually creeping, sprawling, or clumping plants whose primary function is to cover the ground in landscapes. They can also include low growing shrubs and perennials if they spread to cover the area. Plants suitable for this use come in a wide range of shapes, sizes, textures, and colors. Many bear attractive flowers that add seasonal beauty to their other good characteristics.

Shrubs are a versatile group of plants that help create the basic foundation for the landscape.  They add color and can also provide privacy as they can grow as high as 20 ft tall and tend to be wide.
