We have an area in the front of our lot where we'd like to replace some lawn with some type of ground cover plants. It's not an overly large area, but it is really too large to use a string trimmer and too steep to mow with a push mower (these are the ways I've been mowing it).
I was wondering 1) How best to kill the grass - I have seen people use black plastic, or is the chemical alternative better? 2) Any ideas about a good ground cover that will be low to the ground and also pretty resistant to road salt? (We are in Zone 5).
Thanks.
