A specific word for the way leaves/petals carpet the ground?

I'm wondering if there's a specific word for the way leaves or petals carpet and scatter on the ground. I can think of all sorts of beautiful poetic ways to describe the way it sprinkles like confetti, but is there an unusual or old word for it? I like to think there is a word for it in German or Japanese.

edit: eg "The crimson petals from the cherry tree scattered the lawn."

Solution 1:

The verb sprinkle has a stative transitive usage as well as the more common dynamic transitive usage, though I can only find endorsement from internet examples:

• Colored leaves sprinkled the ground and hung from the branches of the trees. [[The Art of Autumn Awareness | F.W. Rick Meyers; Google](The Art of Autumn Awareness | F.W. Rick Meyers)]
• Dead leaves sprinkled the ground, too numerous to count. [Recovery ... DeviantArt; Google]
• At one point there was a canopy of red trees overhead while fallen red leaves sprinkled the ground. [The Adventures of a Newly Crippled. Elisabeth McKnight;Google]
• A few fallen leaves sprinkled the dewed grass. [FanFiction; Google]

Solution 2:

If you seek a word different from your own sprinkle, you might say “The ground was bedecked with petals.”

Bedeck = to decorate or cover:

“The room was bedecked with flowers.”

Cambridge

The word is closely associated with German bedeckt = covered. According to Google ngram it was in good use as early as 1800, reached a small peak in the mid 1800s, declined since but is still in occasional use today.
