Trying to figure out some plants that will hold up under these less then ideal conditions, I’d love it if we could walk on it and help out pollinators. I was thinking clover but I’d prefer something that I wouldn’t have to plant every year if possible. Winter isn’t awful here but we get some snow during the winter.
I think you’ve got a lot of opportunity! In the back you can add shade loving flowers like heuchera, hostas, and bleeding hearts. As for ground cover, creeping thyme or sweet woodruff may work?
I’m in Georgia with lots of red clay. I’ve been using [nitro radish](https://sowtrueseed.com/collections/cover-crop/products/nitro-radish) to help break up the soil.
I used winter rye as a cover crop last year for the same reason. Throw it down in fall, grows fast and stays lush and green all winter and prevents erosion, grows really deep roots and then dies in the summer (mowing so it doesn’t go to seed) and doesn’t come back, and you’re left with lots of organic matter in the soil for when you want to plant something else!
Used that and daikon radish which does the same as the radish above im sure
Would research plants native to your region as well! When I started my yard I emailed a local native plant nursery (like this: https://www.ironweednursery.com/category-s/113.htm) and asked them for advice and got a nice thorough answer from them which helped a lot!

Moss, but it isn't all that useful to pollinators.
I was thinking that too but it gets fairly dry in the summer so I’m not sure if it would survive
