Default bark mulch - need to get rid of grass?

We would like to apply bark mulch in several areas around our home
where grass currently exists. Is there a need to get rid of the grass
before applying the mulch, either by lifting the sod or laying
cardboard and four inches of soil, as we do when preparing a new bed,
or can we just lay landscape fabric and 2-3 inches of mulch and that
will take care of the grass over time.
thanks
Teresa
