My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Walk upon ground covers

19 years ago

I am new to ground covers, is there such a thing as a ground cover that can be walked on? I have an area that gets sun and partial shade and does have traffic. Any suggestions? The area is mostly clay and is in hot and humid Houston.
