I have a lot of trees that are suffering on a project from lawn in the root zone, and mower damage, particularly.
I want them to mulch over the grass and planed-off roots.
What is the best ways you've found for killing grass under existing trees.
I've used cardboard and mulch. Seems like it wouldn't suffocate the root zone as much as maybe newspaper might. Is a lack of fresh air to the roots an issue with sheet mulching?
Would landscape fabric for a few years work better?
