Hey! Our lawns been dead for years now but only this year did we decide to change it up. My mom definitely wants some big stepping stones and originally she wanted to fill the gaps with rocks.
I don't think that's a good idea, since this part of our garden is in full sun and already hot during the summer.
I was thinking of creeping thyme or clovers (which already live in some parts of our garden), but she said it has to be a fairly short type of plant.
We also have a cat who likes to play
outside.
So question is, what low maintanence, drought and hot tolerant cover plant would you reccomend for us? Would thyme be alright?
Located in Western-Transdanubia (zone 7b)
Thanks!

I think you are in Hungary – maybe this list of native groundcover helps? https://easyscape.com/categories/groundcover?address=Budapest,-Hungary&filter=native
Your soil is compacted. If seeding is your plan you’ll need to till and introduce some organic material. And tilling might bring dormant weed seeds to the top. The alternative is to plant plugs (and each hole amended) and cover the whole thing with mulch.
