[QUOTE="donna723, post: 537638, member: 1883"] Lisa, is your back yard very big? And does it get very hot there in the summer? This would be very ugly and you couldn't do it all at once - you'd have to do it in sections. If you can, get a section cut down to a reasonable length, as short as you can get it. Then cover the entire section with sheets of that heavy, black landscaping plastic. Weight down the corners and edges with rocks or bricks or whatever you have on hand. In the summer heat, it will get super hot under that plastic and it will literally cook anything growing underneath it, including any weed seeds there might be. Even better if you wet it down before you put on the plastic because it makes it really hot and steamy under there. After a while you should have nothing but dead brown stuff under there that can be tilled under so you can plant grass seed. I've never done it on a whole yard, just a flower bed size section, but it can be done. [/QUOTE]
