Yard Death Cocktail?

I'm inching forward trying to line up topsoil and my tractor guy to regrade my yard ahead of sod. Ida has derailed a lot of what I was lining up since my tractor guy is hauling trees off houses and my dirt guy had a tree through 2 houses.
Anyway. That brings me to nuking my yard ahead of the dirt work. I have every weed imaginable (except for torpedo). That includes some buttonweed, dove weed, and plenty of assorted sedges.
What is the magic mix of toxic goo to mix up and spray across my yard to kill it all? I'm guessing two applications a week apart? Will roundup + sedgehammer do the trick? (Image + roundup?)

two applications
At least, and stronger than just Roundup. I did two applications with a STRONG glysphosphate mixture, and then put down 6 inches of topsoil and St. Augustine sod. And then I spent years fighting Zombie Bermuda coming up, it just refused to die, even though it had never shown much desire to live before that.

that's what I would do! Mix that Round up strong.

Can you rent a bobcat and skim it?

It's also frightening and I need to verify that there is no interruption in sod etc.

Just a heads-up. The 24 oz Image with the hose end sprayer bottle is $12.84 on Walmart.com. I just browsed the shelves at the local nursery and it was $37.99. I'm all for giving them the business, and I do frequently but I just bought 3 bottles for $42 shipped.

Go with a 3-5% solution of 41% glyphosate alone. This time of year perennial weeds such as nutsedge are switching to survival mode with most of “food” plant makes going into underground storage organs such as tubers, rhizomes etc. They will take up the glyphosate and move it to these storage organs for a more long term control. Not sure adding any Sedgehammer is gonna increase this level of control to justify the cost. Usually takes repeat fall applications from mid Sept thru Mid Oct for best control long term so nothing you put out is 1000% guarantee you will be nutsedge free going into the new situation. Mother Nature is a tough opponent.

Saw on this board a while back, 4 oz of roundup and 1.5-2 oz of 2,4d per gallon of water.
I've used this many times and it's worked to nuke areas of all types of vegetation.
