Hi all,
I have a rear lane that I am trying to work on drainage at present as it forms a channel for rainwater runoff and also is heavily shaded by conifers and crepe murtle and jacarandas. I have tried mondo grass between the pavers however much of them have not survived or if they survived have not grown. There is foot traffic that occurs (mostly on the pavers) and it can get wet from the rain run off. I am trying to determine if it is worth growing grass or better to use a ground cover such as native violet. I would appreciate people's thoughts
