Help for plants btwn pavers in California

11 years ago

Hi!

I have to admit that I have very little experience with gardening. Everything is new to me, but I am trying to learn more and tackle our large, but overgrown backyard. I would like to put down some pavers but have something green and alive between the rocks. The pathway is full sun for about 5 hours or so then shade for the rest of the day. I am in Los Angeles (inland) so I am trying to limit the amount of water used, and we do not have irrigation in the back yard, so it would need to be something that doesn't grow super fast, and doesn't require a lot of water. I have looked at various suggestions online, but it is hard for me to identify what is the best option given the amount of light, water, and climate involved. Mosses seem like the best options, but I am unclear which would work best. Any suggestions would be helpful!

Also, what is the best method for laying down both pavers and plants/mosses? Do you plant the moss and then put down pavers? Can I do both in the same day?

Thank you!

Beautiful gardens, everyone! Here's our front garden, at least the part to the right of the driveway and garage which dominates the front of the house. It's a little cottagey. A little naturalistic. A little native-y. As a result, a bit of a jumble. I hope to eventually dig out the rest of the grass...and I badly need a walkway from the sidewalk to the front door so people don't have to come up the driveway to get to the front door...but that probably won't happen until we put our daughter through college.

I guess the reason they're discouraging you from a new planting that will need a fair amount of water is that you may not have the water to give it this summer if we don't get a LOT more rain at this point. Sacramento, being in an agricultural area, has historically not had much in the way of water restrictions like a lot of other California areas, even during drought years, but that may change this year, if things continue like this. Even farmers were restricted in their water allotment last year and most likely will also be this year. So you may plant something that you will possible have to let die this summer. It's not heat they're worried about, it's the probable lack of water to get it through the hot summer. And if Sacramento does not have water restrictions this summer, if the drought continues, then there is something wrong with the state system.

Lots of things to consider. Where are you located? What state? Location has a lot to do with what you should and/or could plant. Stone fruit is usually advised to plant in full sun with good air circulation. Many even prune their trees open centered or vase shape to let more sun in and air flows better. Thus, growing stone fruit as a hedge may not be a good idea. Also, you need to think long-term, those tiny sticks can grow tall, far and wide. Planting only 1 ft from a fence will force you to consider a certain way of pruning it. A plum can put out 3-4 ft branches in all directions in a growing season. Let's start with what state do you live in?

Beautiful Cori Ann! Does it smell as wonderful as the descriptions? I meant to post back that out of my original 6 plants that "Failed," 5 miraculously started to show green leaves. Apparently bunny munching didn't destroy the root system. I was glad I hadn't gotten around to removing them yet. So we put chicken fence around to protect from grazing and they are slowly growing. Nothing like yours for sure, but I was amazed that they tried to come back. No blooms.
