Hello! I live in Safford AZ, and my ‘yard’ always looks terrible in the summer. Actually all year long. In the sun there is nothing. In the more shaded areas I Have Bermuda, which I inherited from a previous owner. It is so thick in a couple of areas that it chokes out everything else. I would love to get some ideas as to what would work in these areas. It would be great if there was something wonderful that would actually choke out the Bermuda, but I imagine that I will just have to get out there and dig it all out 😩. And then I would love to find a ground cover that would hold up to Arizona summers sun. A double bonus would be that it would hold up to some foot traffic. In the front it has to look neat and more traditional. In the backyard though I have some permaculture principals going on there and can leave it more wild.
