This should work well for grass. I accidentally killed a large patch of vines by layering about 8 inches of woodchips over them. I just needed a place to dump them for the year and terminating the vines was something I had planned to do later, but it turns out bittersweet and periwinkle don’t do well with smothering. The regrowth has been minimal as the woodchips have broken down and they make pulling easy because things are easier to spot in the barren area it has created.

Why not just put cardboard and soil?

Have fun! We did this in small pieces of the lawn using bagged mulch haha
