What can I do to tidy this up?

Had new fencing put in last year and this muddy bit here it driving me mad, makes the front look really scruffy.

What can I plant there that will spread and cover it? Or any other ideas ... I have the same amount on the other side of the gate too so it’s a big space!

TIA Smile

Wow, what an exciting project. I’d think about plants that will give interest and colour throughout the year, without too much maintenance. Do you want to cover the fence with climbers or leave it as it is?
If it’s ground cover then creeping Cranesbill geraniums, Vinca, and Ajuga would give variety. Spring bulbs planted in clumps during Autumn. Another layer of summer flowering plants such as Knautia, verbena bonariensis, Lavender and maybe some shrub roses.

Ah I now see it’s on the roadside not your drive. I’d keep the ground cover and bulbs, but forget the more garden suggestions! 🤭

A few Vinca plants would cover that really quickly OP.

Or some spreading geraniums like Derrick Cook. Basically things that self-seed like crazy.

Just googled vinca and Derrick cook geraniums, that’s just the kind of thing I was thinking thankyou Grin
