Groundcover Management

Groundcover management involves the care and maintenance of plants that spread horizontally to cover the soil, providing a low-maintenance alternative to grass or mulched beds. This maintenance task includes controlling the spread of groundcover plants to prevent them from overtaking other areas, pruning or trimming to keep them within bounds, and managing weeds that may compete with the groundcover. Groundcovers may also require watering, fertilizing, and the occasional replacement of old or thinning plants. Proper management ensures that groundcovers remain healthy, attractive, and effective in suppressing weeds, conserving soil moisture, and preventing erosion. Regular groundcover management is key to maintaining a cohesive and well-maintained landscape.
