Hello! My wife and I moved into out first house and are wondering wtf to do with this yard. My father in law paid for the first months of grass cutting, but the guy left all the trimmings on top and my yard is dead currently (we had huge patches of grass all around the yard, guessing it got smothered but I’m not sure). I am finally buying a sprinkler and have a decent mower and weed eater.
In the case where my grass doesnt grow back, could I just plant clover or another groundcover and be fine? I have been wanting to do a more natural clover/groundcover lawn, but scared too if the mowing cycles are off.
Another cool thing about sedum is you can pretty mich stick it on a rock and it will grow.
Sedum and a hens and chicks succulent on another rock.
Another picture of the hens and chicks. I wanted to show another view because we’ve never seen hens and chicks grow a stalk and flower like this.
You can also see some bugleweed in the lower right. Bugleweed is another spreading ground cover with some varieties to choose from.
Oh yeah, we’re in Missouri, hardiness zone 6b so all these plants can take 100+ F in the summer and -10 F or more winters.
