Within a few weeks the grass had grown through the cardboard. Don't waste your time, it doesn't work. The best luck I have had is to stick the shovel down into the ground and loosen the dirt to about 12 inches. Then I take the shovel and pop up a clod of dirt, sift through and remove all the grass pieces. If you remove all the new grass as it pops up and all the runners through the summer it keeps it pretty clear. This year I didn't keep up with pulling the new sprouts and it took over again.
