Recommendations for a Ground Cover #818085

I've recently bought a home in Eugene and want to slowly re-work the landscaping into something eco-friendly and low maintenance. I just had a large nasty Barberry Bush taken out at the end of my driveway next to the sidewalk and 3 rocks delivered. I'm looking for an evergreen ground cover that'll fill in, hopefully something that would bloom and hopefully provide some color. The area is about 3' x 4'. I've seen some succulent ground covers in the neighborhood but don't know what they are.
What would you recommend for this area?
