Oh, yeah that would help, wouldn't it. I am in Raleigh, NC. I've been
thinking about some kind of moss since my original post, but I don't any
experience with the stuff.


I would stay away from moss because although it can be very nice between
pavers, weeds and grass can easily grow within the moss. Moss seems to be a
nice little trap for grass and weed seeds and it gives them a nice
environment to grow in. If you do use moss, use a product called Amaze
after the moss has established. Amaze will keep weed and grass seeds from
germinating.

Dwarf Mondo Grass would be an excellent choice. It has many varieties and
can be called by quite a few different names, but you'll want to find one
that has a 2-3" growth habit. Nana is the variety which is commonly used
for an application such as yours. It loves shade and will do well in your
zone. It will need to be watered if it's in a dry location.
