Or you could not use dangerous chemicals, just cover the grass with ground cloth (you can get it at Walmart, or any big-box store.) The cloth blocks the sun and nutrients so the grass dies. Pour your rock over the cloth and you're finished. We did a portion of our yard that way years ago. It still looks very nice.
No rule that a yard has to have grass. Go for it and be different. https://www.finegardening.com/article/4-ways-to-remove-sod
Applied grass killer to the area, cover with landscaping fabric, and put down the rock of your choice.
You can rent a Sod cutter... that will remove the top layer of grass and soil... then put down a good quality landscape fabric (don't cheap out here) and then gravel or stones.. you might want to leave an border (curvy looks better) to add plants and trees...
Rent a sod cutter. Roll off Then spray vegetation killer on any that pop up
I just did this. All I used was plain old white vinegar. Worked like a charm. Put in a pump sprayer and spray away!
Fastest way to get rid of the grass is to burn it out - If you choose this method it might be a good idea to have a professional do this.
Just remember if this is not a common landscaping theme in your location - it could make you home difficult to sell. Using wood mulch would make it easier to change your mind - if you don't like it.
To kill all vegetation - horticultural vinegar 20% .
Thanks and I like the idea of 20% vinegar....will try that! No problem re: landscaping themes here!![](https://cdn-fastly.hometalk.com/resources/design/emojis/1f642.png)
