Ground Cover
Ground cover plants provide greenery beneath taller shrubs and trees.
They can also provide cover for hiding tree stumps, unsightly objects such as manhole covers, edge shrubberies, and cover banks where maintenance is difficult.
Although they will help to control annual weeds, perennial weeds such as docks, couch grass, brambles and nettles must be sprayed or removed before planting.
We have perennials, shrubs, conifers and bamboos which can all provide effective ground cover.
