Larimer County Ground covers offer gardeners exciting alternatives to turf. Some empty nesters, whose children no longer need a play area, have outgrown the usefulness of their lawns. Finally, people suffering from spring fever are sick of looking at the brown mat of their winter turf. They can hardly wait to plant groundcovers that feature enchanting winter color and texture.
Spring is an excellent time to establish a ground cover.
The cooler and slightly wetter weather of the season can help young plants get off to a great start, and local nurseries are fully stocked with a tempting variety of suitable plants in economical, small-sized pots. However, before going shopping, do some preparation and planning. First, control the weeds in the proposed planting area. It does not mean that the newly planted ground cover can magically eradicate robust, existing weeds. Second, prepare the planting site.
