Default ground cover that needs NO mowing?

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?

Select a groundcover that will grow well in your conditions, (rather
than one that you think looks good.)
