I have about an 18-inch section of grass between the driveway and the house. I want to get rid of the grass.?

I don't want to have to mow and weed-wack the area any more. I plan to dig out the grass and would like to maybe put in a "steppable" ground cover. It's beside the driveway so it will be walked on. Any problem with planting and watering groundcover so close to the block foundation of my nearly 100 year old house? Plant suggestions? Thanks.

Try stepables.com. Go to find plants, find plants for the right spot. You will need to answer a questionnaire. It will narrow down what plant is best for you based on foot traffic, sun exposure, zone, water, height, growth, etc. I hope this helps!
Reply:Spray the grass with Roundup. It will kill everything growing there now but will not harm anything that you plant there later.





As an alternative, cover the grass with tar paper and a layer of small washed rock or green-colored agregate available from a landscape supplier.
Reply:You may need to dig it out if you plan to plant something else. Otherwise you could use a weed,grass and root killer by ortho. Not sure about what to plant that you can walk on and it hold up/\.
