Default ground cover that needs NO mowing?

Darren Garrison wrote:

I want some sort of low ground cover that can be used over a whole yard where I do not have other
plants and does not need mowing at all. Oxalis ("false shamrock") looks promising, but descriptions
also say that it is "non-invasive", and I want something that WILL be invasive to my whole yard, to
the exclusion of "normal" grass. Anyone have any tips?



How about buffalo grass if you live in a dry climate, or "ajuga" (bugle)
or "monkeygrass" in a wet climate.

Buffalo grass looks like a normal lawn if you mow it, or it stops growing
at about 5 inches if you don't.
