I have 2 problem areas in my grass. The turf is thin and grows badly under a huge tree. I additionally have a sloping area, which is hard to mow. What could I expand in these two locations that would certainly be much better than turf?

You might wish to think about mulching the area around the color tree and also maybe planting a couple of shade forgiving shrubs or blossoms. Many tags on hedges and also flowers indicate whether they are shade forgiving.

Removing some of the reduced branches on your color tree would certainly permit more light to get to the ground underneath and also make it feasible to grow a better range of plants.

There are suitable ground cover plants for both of these locations that do not need mowing. Before planting ground cover or other plants under your tree you will certainly need to eliminate the yard. You could rent a turf cutter or if the location is not as well large, make use of a shovel.

You may need to get ground covers beforehand from a full-service nursery.

A few of the very best ground covers for dubious locations include creeping Jenny (Lysimachia nummularia), rug bugle (Ajuga reptans), slipping potentilla (Potentilla verna), kinnikinnick (Arctostaphylos uva-ursi), carpet sedum (Sedum acre), periwinkle (Vinca small), as well as pleasant woodruff (Gallium odoratum). Sneaking Oregon grape (Mahonia repens) is somewhat taller but additionally makes a great ground cover. It will grow in sunlight or color.
