Looking to make the plunge and get rid of the grass lawn for a mulched native bush/wildflower garden.

What is the best way to kill the grass and keep it from growing back? Cardboard and 4 inches of mulch?

Also, any good resource for planning what plants to use in order to have something that looks good all year round? Location is Western PA.

I asked my wife what she wanted for mother's Day and she requested that our grass lawn get turned into something like this (apologies for the AI picture).

What is the best way to go about this?

I know I'll need tons of mulch and plants. Does there need to be mesh under the mulch? Should I use a sod scraper to get rid of the grass or just till it?
