We know - you’ve spent a lot of time trying to get clover OUT of your lawn. Here’s a look at a few groundcovers that would be happy to take over for your high-maintenance lawn: Clover
Make sure it tucks down into the ground a few inches. One note: Groundcovers need edging to contain them. Stonecrops love dry, stony slopes, while mosses prefer the damp shade under trees.

They offer texture and choke out weeds by forming a dense carpet. Ground covers need little to no maintenance. They spread across the ground but don’t grow tall, so they don’t need mowing. It doesn’t need as much water as traditional turf, but it does appreciate some irrigation. Lilyturf tolerates a wide range of soil conditions and grows in sun to light shade. It’s best suited for out-of-the-way areas and on steep banks. It spreads to form a lush, grass-like cover, but don’t kick off your sandals yet - it’s really too lumpy to walk across.
If you like the look of grass, this is a great alternative. LilyturfĪlso called liriope, this evergreen ground cover features dark green strappy leaves and grows about a foot tall. It’s happy in shade but doesn’t stand up to heavy foot traffic the way traditional turf grass does. These lawns are typically a mix of fine fescue grasses, a smaller species of grass that grow slowly with narrow blades and have a tendency to lay down nearly flat by mid-summer. No-mow lawns are the product of seeds designed to require little or no water or mowing once established. No-mow turf can be mowed once or twice a year, or not at all.
