yes, about 15 years ago, I put flower beds all around the house and along the driveway
as we are getting older, I can't take care of it, so hubby last fall, tore the ones out along the back of the house, used old push mower to cut to ground level after pulling out some of the old stuff, he sprayed with weed killer for about 2 months, and then he used hoe to loosen the soil and planted grass seed last fall and put straw over it for the winter, this spring he racked off straw and now we have grass
along the back of kitchen window, I had the peppermint herb and was wild and a big mess, now it is just grass and easier to take care of
Good luck!
