While many homeowners and landscapers love grass, there are many occasions where grass is an unwanted guest. As many people have found out, grass is a hearty plant that often refuses to go away easily. If you are serious about ridding your land of grass, using chemicals is a great option.
Instructions
1. Clear away the land of anything you may want to survive. Applying chemicals can seriously harm or kill other flowers and plants if they are nearby. If plants are potted, move them far away. If they are in the ground, get as far away from the base and roots of the plant as possible to avoid contamination.
2. Mow the grass you are trying to kill. Tall grass will prevent your chemicals from reaching the roots. If you first trim the grass low, the chemicals you apply will seep into the ground and ultimately have a higher success rate than if the grass were taller.
3. Chose a chemical that is at least 46 percent superconcentrate. The smaller spray bottle grass killers do not have the strength necessary for the job. Superconcentrates can be purchased at lawn and garden stores and hardware stores. Popular brands include Round-Up and Spectracide.
4. Spray the chemicals onto the grass. Wear rubber gloves when handling the chemicals. Spread the liquid thoroughly and evenly over the grass you are trying to kill. The more heavy duty chemicals will simply come in a jug that you can slosh around. You may also transfer the chemicals to a spray bottle for more accuracy when spraying.
5. Allow the chemicals to work for a few days and check back. There will most likely be patches of dead grass and green grass. Reapply the chemicals to the living grass and repeat this process until all the grass is dead.
