I'm looking for inexpensive environmentally & pet safe ground covering for my backyard. I also want it to look good. Thank you. I have a dog & there are stray cats in my neighborhood.

Vinca vine is a great ground cover and proudces nice flowers as well. It is relatively cheap and will spread. Make sure you get perrenial vinca though not annual. Creeping sedum is nice too but might not hold up to a day stomping on it. Vinca vine will. Creeping phlox is also a good cover, produces lots of flowers and is tough. It also looks very nice when it is not in bloom. It too will spread.

Hi there. I use any of the mint family. It is easy to grow, and can be rather invasive, tough, and smells great. I love peppermint. Make a great tea also.
