Hello friends! I was pointed here from Facebook, where I was asking about non-lawn ground covers in deep shade areas. I just moved to Western Tennessee, to a place with a back yard that has two huge old oak trees and nothing else except poison ivy and creeping charlie. I would almost be tempted to brick the yard, encourage moss, and put in planters, but we aren't sure right now how long-term this place is.

Does anyone have advice for low-cost ground covers that don't mind deep shade? It gets some dappled sun in the afternoons, but that's it. I don't mind the look of the creeping charlie, but I think it dies back during the winter?
