It isn't full blown weed city yet but there pretty liberally covered in small 2-3" weeds.
Any advice on my next step? I will need to rake before hydroseeding but I assume removing the weeds is my first step. Should I go nuclear with a layer of round-up to kill everything then hydroseed over their corpses or rent a rototiller and just break everything up before seeding?
Thanks

rototiller won't stop the weeds, they will just regrow wherever their corpses are left.
You can Roundup the entire area, but make sure to wait until it goes inert before you seed. I think it is usually 10-14 days for Roundup.
Or you could lay sod?
