Thought I'd share these suggestions from GQT for ground cover alternatives (also because I'd like a reminder).
- Corsican mint – needs free draining soil and sun
- Leptinella – suitable for dappled shade, moister heavy ground
- Camomile – sun and drainage
- Thymes, oregano etc.
Semi related drive way suggestion of ferns like (and these may be incorrect): Athyrium polypodium, polystichum.

From looking into Corsican mint I'm wondering if it could be used as a living roof.

Out of curiosity has anyone built a living roof? The area I'd be looking at is, I think, reinforced concrete with some sort of tarmac-like roof felt... it could just be very old torch-on roof felt hence why I don't quite recognise it.

This is very interesting.

I want to 'hide' our driveway which sits in a large front garden. I was thinking of reducing it to two strips of hard surface (concrete or brick etc) and then fill the strip in the middle and surrounding edges with a nice ground cover that would even flower at times.
