What is the best way to get Jasmine Mimima ground cover to grow thick - where it can be shaped in landscapes?

I live in Florida and a lot of the nice homes have beautiful landscapes with solid, very thick mats of this ground cover - Jasmine Minima - cut and shaped around the edges of their landscape beds, etc.... what is the best way to acheive a thick growth of this ground cover?

When planting, 6-inch spacing will allow the plants to fill in more quickly, and will likely produce an intact slab more quickly. However, the more densely the bed is planted, the more plants are required, increasing the initial cost. The drawback of ‘Minima’ is that it doesn’t root well along the stems. A biodegradable erosion mat may accelerate slab production. The mat is made of woven straw, and will break down after the jasmine slabs are installed in a landscape.
