What is the easiest way to destroy the grass in my lawn. I want to plant a variety of local flowers, grass and ferns.

I don’t want to use anything that would harm insects and I would prefer not to take it up in sod because the loam is very thick in rocks.

Would a power tiller work to destroy the grass? Maybe a tarp over the grass?

Thanks in advance.

    I think this is the option I will go with. Might have to apart next year though because we won’t be getting much more in the way of sunshine soon.

      If you have the time to do it, it’s absolutely the best and easiest way. It’s hard to postpone landscape projects, but doing them in the right season is setting up your project for success. Good luck, and don’t forget to take progress pictures!
