If you live in a warmer climate, there is a lawn alternative that many people enjoy. Dichondra repens is a perennial ground cover that only reaches about 2 inches in height. It prefers full sun, and it can handle light foot traffic. Dichondra has a creeping growth habit and stays low to the ground. The leaves are circular and bright green. Dichondra ground cover seed can be started directly outside. Wait until temperatures are in the 70Fs during the day and 50Fs at night. Prepare a seedbed that is weed free and loosen the top several inches of soil. Press the seed into the soil but do not cover it. Keep the seed consistently moist until germination occurs which is usually within 14 days. After the seed has germinated, water it deeply but infrequently to encourage deep roots. Water the ground cover about 1 inch each week. Dichondra can be mowed or used in landscape areas with no maintenance.
