Beginner Gardening: Low Ground Covering Options?, 1 by scandi

Hi everyone!

I'm starting on a gardening project on the side of my business. It's a 7x40 foot area. It will partially serve as a patio with pavers.

Because it is so shady in this area, I know that I am limited in my ground cover options. I need something low maintenance, fast growing and tight to the ground.

Can anyone give me suggestions on what to put here that will be okay (considering it will be used to lounge and eat lunch) and where I may be able to purchase seeds for growing it myself? Budget is key!

Thank you!
