We used tarps and other things to cover over some hilly, unmowable parts to keep down the unwanted growth.
Easy on our much older backs. This year, now that all that growth is killed off, we are adding raised beds on that hillside. Patience is the answer and one of the hardest lessons to be learned as we try to tame this hilly land.

Yes, "insta-landscape" is not realistic for something you want to last. Patience, patience, patience...
I like your tarp idea but unless I'm missing something, no rainwater will penetrate and get into the soil and that's a problem for me.
It will kill off what ever is under it so it should work faster with no rain penetrating, No?
Yes absolutely it will. But, the ground is so hard and mostly lifeless, so I want to encourage moisture retention as well as increase the soil health. A tarp will kill the weeds for sure, but won't do anything to help my other objectives.
