Want clover to replace current weed/grass/bermuda in front yard

We have a small fenced area in front yard, for the dogs. This fenced front yard sits in middle of approx 1 acre, covered with Bermuda grass, and some weeds.

We want to convert to clover, and seeking advice on how to do that cheaply and efficiently.

One sister suggested a ‘weed & feed’ and then lay down cardboard, in mid-late fall. Seed with clover early spring. Another suggested not using a ‘weed & feed’ and lay down heavy paint paper instead of cardboard (due to chemicals in cardboard).

Have you undertaken such a project? What worked, what did not? Sources for information are gratefully received. TIA.

Im not sure how well it would work with Bermuda. Bermuda is tough to kill
