Does anyone have any suggestions for a fast-growing ground cover? I have
about .18 acre of land that I want covered with ground cover so I do not
have to mow it. It's flat land with few trees, so the ground cover will be
in sun mostly. Zone 5 - upstate NY. Thanks.

Sounds like the perfect place to have a "Natural meadow" grassland sown with
a large range of native wild flowers.
In fact you could have "Spring meadow" "Summer meadow" etc.
