i'm exhausted. i pull the clover every couple of weeks and its still a losing battle.
is there anything that will just kill that clover but leave the ground cover intact?
how would you attack this?
eta thats a hi-res pic; feel free to drag it into another tab to see it closer up.

i'm honestly not sure. its a lighter green than tradtional 'clover' so i just assumed it was in the same family.
i'll look for flowers.

Either way, going to be difficult. Do you know what the ground cover is? Hard to tell from the photos.

its probably oxalis, and if it is its a gift. beautiful flowers in spring/early summer and its a great groundcover on its own. if it is clover, and you want it gone...good luck 
i love my clover, i put it in my garden beds on purpose. it fixes nitrogen in the soil and is food for bees, deer, rabbits, etc. and again, a perfect ground cover. it "should" die back in intense summer heat

i'm not sure what the other ground cover is; definitely a bristly type that has a good root system.
i guess no easy way outside of pulling that other weed to get it out of there.

LOL
no, there’s no way to spray that shrubby ground cover just to kill the clover. You could try vinegar but do a small area first. BTW I agree it doesn’t look that great. But if it is oxalis it’s a lot easier to thin out than clover. It’s kind of delicate and doesn’t run as bad.
If you’ve been yanking on it for a while and it’s stubborn then it probably is clover and you’ll have to go nuclear

the ground cover looks like Juniper...

The best approach for a weed-free groundcover is to prevent the weeds from popping up in the first place. You can either spread a thick layer of mulch between the plants or use a pre emergent such as Preen for Groundcovers. This should be applied in mid=March and again in mid-September. Hand pulling existing weeds is labor intensive, but the safest approach to getting rid of the weeds without harming your juniper. If you want to use a chemical approach to removing existing weeds, you can use a post-emergent such as Vantage. The Vantage label lists specific plants on which it can be used: Chinese juniper and shore juniper are listed on the Vantage label but Juniperus horizontalis is not.
