Kill weeds before sod?

julieann_grow
16 years ago

I've got bunches of weeds (clover, dollar weed...) and plan to lay St Aug sod. Will laying the sod on top of the weeds be enough to kill them or do I need to do more beforehand? My yard is organic so I'd like to use those types of measures.

Thanks!
