Hi Rosye, are you looking for something to kill the grass and weeds? This is what we use:

Please avoid chemicals, they’re so bad for you and your yard. Try newspaper or cardboard. You could also rent a rototiller and turn everything over.
We sprayed everything with Roundup or any weed and grass killer then read directions on bottle usually you can replant in several days ~ I walked around the yard and drew out where I wanted flower beds or what I planned to do with certain areas and we worked on things a little at a time - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2h7aY_n8No
