You basically cut the lawn down to a butch and cover it with what ever is handy to kill it off. Grass dies quick around here.

Here's a photo of another area that I am "designing" where I had killed the grass but ultimately went back and removed it all-

Forgto to mention that the little water feature you see there is temporary "home" to 3 or 4 Northern Leopard Frogs. I placed that water feature there not because it looked good but more so because the frogs hopping through needed a resting place. Turns out I was able to integrate the resting stop into my "Landscape design".
