Whether your replacing your lawn with artificial grass, trying to start over or maybe doing something else entirely the best and most effective way to kill grass permanently is to use a Glyphosate based weed killer. There’s no one weed killer that works “best” for lawns and grass, because the best weed killer for you is the one that works with the weeds you have, doesn’t harm your desired plants, and is appropriate for your local ecosystem. What even is a weed? Do you need to get rid of it? These are important questions to consider when crafting a weed-control plan for your lawn. While having a picture-perfect lawn full of a single, uniform type of grass may appeal to some, others may be fine with a mix of grass and weed types as long as things don't get out of hand. Generally, this latter approach will yield a healthier overall garden, with better biodiversity.

Artificial grass has become very popular as of late. It's not hard to see why, it requires very little maintenance, looks great year round and once installed it can last for many years.
