Groundcover is a valuable addition when sprucing up your yard.

Location is important when figuring out where elements of your landscaping plan should go. Natural lighting and drainage are important for your plants to thrive. Factors you need to consider are the availability of light and water, as well as exposure to shade, weather and wind.
