Ground Covers 101

Ground cover is a popular or common term in the lawn and gardening industry. A ground cover is any material that is used to cover the ground. There are a couple of options including ones that may seem more obvious than others. Kurapia is one of our top recommendations for ground cover. Other options are traditional grass or sod, seen in parks and other public area. 

Ground Cover Ideas

Other options include rock, sedge and artificial turf. You can use one ground cover for an area or you can use multiple ground covers simultaneously! Other ground cover ideas are flowers, trees and other types of plants. 

Ground Cover Plants

Kurapia is one of the best ground covers for lots of reasons. First, other ground cover plants and materials such as sedge, flowers, or rocks, it is hard to provide a safe space for play or socializing, which is often the main reason people want to cover the ground on an outside area. However, Kurapia (and other ground cover plants like grass) provide a safe space for use that is natural. Kurapia ground cover will help the area be usable while also providing environmental benefits.
