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.

    Rototill it. The sod mat will stop things from germinating if you use cardboard.

    What do you mean the ‘loam is very thick in rocks’?

    Loam is a textual class, not a soil horizon.

    I’m assuming you have a lot of rocks in your topsoil. As long as you can till without ruining your tiller, go for it.
