Since the cost of maintaining a lawn has risen and time or effort needed to keep it in good shape, some homeowners are reducing size by replacing some areas with ground cover. Ground cover plants can sometimes be more practical to cover an area in a landscape than turf grass. Enviroscaping has become a new trend today since ground cover for Florida landscaping can provide a surprising amount of energy savings, during summer months of high temperatures.
Proper selection can help minimize the need for lawn irrigation, fertilization, and mowing after ground covers are established. Excelent choices for low maintenance shade ground covers are, “Wedelia” and “Mondo grass”. For areas with wet soil, ground cover plant “Lippia” also known as “Matchweed” has outstanding tolerance for this situation. Juniper such as “Compacta” and “Blue Pacific” are drought tolerant ground cover, great for dry areas from lack of irrigation or rainfall. Woody ground cover species will offer a variety flowering ground cover that have colors and textures that will surpass any turf. Ground cover plants can complete any landscape and will compliment trees and shrubsCooling with Groundcovers "ENVIROSCAPING"
Heat waves rippling over a sunbaked parking lot is a familiar sight during the summer. Paved surfaces absorb the sun's heat and radiate it back into the immediate environment. Research has shown that temperatures may be 15°F to 25°F hotter over asphalt or concrete. Paved areas also store heat, radiating warmth long after sundown. Paved surfaces around the home can contribute substantially to summertime heat loads. Planting groundcovers around paved areas can help reduce these temperatures.
