Default Ground cover for sand above drain field

I had a new septic drain field installed. It is above ground and covered with
sand. The area is in the sun for most of the day. I’m in FL.
What would be a suitable ground cover for this sandy area, something that my
yard guy could plant?


is it going to be regularly mowed?

HOA, in the suburbia or otherwise regulated
that it must be kept short?

any mix for your climate is ok if you will be
mowing it regularly.

i like fields of mixed plantings so that there
is a little for everyone. then keep it trimmed
back a few times a season to make sure it doesn't
get taken over by brush/trees.
