Ground cover

Wamda

Looking for evergreen ground covering plants to line the borders or the edgeedge

Fairygirl

What kind of situation Wamda? Sunny, shady etc. Flowering or non? Things like Vinca (periwinkle) will grow in most situations, but the more info you can give the easier it is to suggest suitable plants

I'd go with something like periwinkle (Vinca) @sharon.maderson. If the area's under trees it will be fairly dry so you'd probably need to keep it well watered at least until it's established.

That's a good choice, but remember  that ground cover covers ground even after it's covered where you want it.. You'll need to control it forever to stop it's efforts to cover the world!

What do you mean by getting rid of the soil @sharon.maderson?

I suppose you meant to write "need to get rid of the cat(s)"?

B3

I assume they mean to cover the soil

AnniD

That's how l read it as well @B3

Perhaps @sharon.maderson will come back and clarify 

There's no doubt that good, solid ground cover helps enormously if it's the usual problem with cats.

Epimediums might do the trick, especially if you left the stalk on when cutting the old leaves off in Feb/March. The soft new growth would then have protection and the fine but tough stalks wouldn't be too inviting to either end of a cat.
The tough spreaders like epimedium perralchicum 'Frohnleiten' would be best, tough and fairly fast spreading, easily divided.
Some other more delicate species are less tough and don't spread to cover the ground.
