I need help on how to destroy an acre of grass.

I hate mowing the yard and it grows so damn fast that I have to do it twice per week... I want to kill the whole mother fucking yard except for the trees and shrubbery...
 
It grows especially fast in the fenced in area where the dogs shit and fertilize it... Within a week it's so thick that I can't mow through it without tilting the mower up.
 
seriously this is my area. How much money do you want to spend? what do you want to be there afterwards? I need more info to give you the best advice.

If you are a cheap fucker and don't care about the environment then go pour gas all over it/ or used motor oil if you are really cheap.



If you just want to slow the growth down you can spray it with a retardant that will allow it to stay green but won't let it grow as fast. Basically like putting it on a diet.

If you want to get rid of it forever and want nothing else to grow there then you can put a sterilizer on it, then nothing will grow there later.

If you want to kill it but have something else grow there then you can put a herbicide on it(something like roundup). This will kill it but will allow something else to grow(like weeds)

If you want to change the type of turf to something that might not grow as much you could do that several ways also.

If you want to leave it and pay some cheap fucker to cut it you could do that to keep it simple.

Let me know your intentions and I'll set you up with good advice.

I'd like to killl it as cheaply as possibly and then later when I feel like spending the money... put in a cheap ground cover that requires no maintenance.... Thanks for your help!

Paint it over with green paint.

The only thing that concerns me is that I read that grass prevents soil erosion and can soil erosion potentially cause foundation problems? I haven't found the answer to this on the net yet. They don't go into details on anything.

do you live on a hill? If not then don't worry about it. The soil erosion they are talking about means that if it rains the soil will wash away where if there was grass it wouldn't. That is the only way it will affect your home foundation, if you live in a place where the soil can wash away from the foundation.

Don't have to worry about that... I put a large tarp over a portion of the yard and it killed that area. So I'm just gonna keep moving it around.... Thanks man for the advice!

Won't kill the grass unless you leave it there for a hell of a long time, it will ding it and make it all yellow but the root systems will probably still be alive and it will come back.
I was told once that grass grows by the inch and dies by the foot, maybe just run laps around it until it is all dead.
