they grow real LOW to the ground and have adapted to staying flat so the mover blades cannot kill them out...

I am going to transplant a flat of clover into the center of them and see what happens... this may be a low tech way of avoiding having to completely dig them out.

Thanks Milo

2 other things to consider.

1.) You can have the kids (where applicable) go out and look for a 4-leaf clover for good luck. My mom found a 5-leaf clover in her back yard.

2.) Clover is a preferred food for a number of animals. We have a ground hog that will snack on the flowers from time to time. Then there's rabbits, deer and other herbivores that have started visiting our yards.
