Hello all, this is my first adventure into landscaping. I am hoping to learn some good information so I can help my mother make her house look nicer. I am looking for a shorter ground cover for her house. Her driveway is very steep on either side. Some one recommended Juniper rug to me. I do like the looks of this. Will this be okay in USDA zone 6 (Binghamton NY)

If not any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks everyone
