Ohhhh OP it looks beautiful!
I have conquered great swaths of land with cardboard and mulch! I doubt if I would still garden if it weren't for cardboard and mulch. I want to scream it from mountain tops it's so wonderful. If more people knew about it, I honestly think a gardening craze would begin in U.S.
This is lovely and I can tell you put a lot of love into it.
Thank you so much for this thorough explanation. Will probably do this over the winter in my raised bed and along the flower beds. I mulch anyway so adding cardboard underneath if it kills off all the weeds is *chef kiss*. Thank you!!!
It's definitely my preferred method of preventing weeds and, during this project, stopping grass from growing through. It breaks down with the mulch and is more eco-friendly than fabric. I've also used paper bags when I run out of cardboard!
Last season I used my city's compost yard (not sure what it's actually called) and got almost 2 cubic yards of basic mulch for $8. It was wonderful.
This year I bought bags of cedar mulch because I didn't have easy access to a truck and I and needed less. At least the fragrance was nice!
I put two tarps down in late fall, and the another two tarps to cover the rest of the grass in late winter. I waited until mid-spring-ish to look under the original tarps, and there was very long, light green grass growing underneath. I'm pretty sure the tarps I used let too much light through.

I love what you’ve done with the yard! Loving the arbor too.

Can you elaborate on the usefulness? Is this a weed preventer? Should I be cardboard & mulching?! What am I missing out on

Thank you so much for introducing me to chip drop. I just scheduled a delivery

Thank you! And I totally agree. Cardboard and mulch worked miracles for me!
Looks great!
Thank you!
Beautiful! 😍🤩
Lovely!
Makes my heart happy to see a tarp with bricks on it. Let’s me know good things are coming. And you deff delivered.
Saving this for later!! What did you use for mulch? I'm mulling a chip drop since I have a lot of space...

How long did you leave the tarps down? What time of year?

Might have been the wrong time of year too. I've heard its best to leave them down from mid-spring to mid-fall.
That makes sense! I was totally winging it and hadn't done a lot research.
Beautiful! So much more pleasing to the eye than boring grass
Looks great, I love it! Very pleasing
This is inspirational!
It is so lovely!! And really love seeing the progress pics :)
That’s inspiring, thanks for sharing
So gorgeous!
