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.

Replacing groundcover

11 years ago

What (preferably flowering) groundcover would stay under 6 inches tall, minimize weeds and not choke-out existing roses?

(I'm in USDA plant hardiness zone 9a-10a; Sunkist 18).
