My next door neighbor also had ice plant on their slope, hated it, pulled it all out but didn’t replace it with anything and its true it just created a nasty mess even when she was just trying water her flowers. Needless to say- the ice plant is back.Here are some of my favorite ground covering plants:
Creeping Thyme (There are many different types of thyme):

Good Luck! Send us a pic once its all done![/quote]
Creeping Jenny is nice but loaded with pollen.
The moss is not drought tolerant.
I dig the last one.

I like the rosea iceplant, but I like the kind that does the purple carpet thing. I looked at the pics that sdgrl posted and while the flower is the same, the plant is different from what I was thinking of. Here are some pics I found of the one I like, the green part isn’t smooth, they have this lining redhawk parway in my hood, it looks like carpet or purple snow at times, not a speck of green is visible and it doesn’t have the thick, smooth plant leaves.
notice the green part resembles a worm as opposed to a sword, it should be obvious that i don’t know jack about plants, I just know that the purple carpet stuff is neato!
