You say grass USED to grow here, and that you're making efforts to
reduce the size of the lawn. Does this mean you removed the grass
from this site? If so, how did you kill the grass?

Yes, I removed the grass. I did it the old-fashioned way, with a
pickaxe and shovel. I avoid chemical methods whenever I can. A large
swath of the adjacent hillside was treated the same way, at the same
time. Plenty of new plants are growing there.
