fescue sod over sparse bermuda

I have a question about sod with mesh backing. What is growing right now has been without water for 2+ years other than bits of overspray from the flower beds.I had irrigation installed for lawn area last week and want to sod rather than seed. My gardener sprayed Roundup on Monday, but there are few signs the old sparse bermuda/weeds are dying. He said not a problem, that the sod has a mesh backing. My gardener is supposed to lay sod down on Saturday. I would like a second opinion please....I don't want to pay a ton of money for sod only to have the bermuda grow through and take over. Does this mesh really prevent the remnants of what they may leave behind in prepration or am I better off asking him to wait until I'm absolutely sure the bermuda is gone? Thanks in advance, Deana
