Default Dry well finished

Well I finally got the dry well for my down spout for the garage in this weekend.
Here's the catch basin going in when we did the sidewalk.



Here is what I used for the dry well.



I dug a hole 4'x4'x almost 4' deep for it. Its been a long time since I used a pick and shovel, it took a little over 4 hours to dig. then I lined it with filter fabric, put small pieces of granite for it to rest and some 3/4" stone.



Ordered 2 yards of 3/4" stone ( which was supposed to be washed but wasn't!) to back filled it trying not to get too many fines in with it.





Now it's to get some loam and sod.

I'm going to put sod in should I kill off all the grass that's already there then rototill or just rototill and rake it all out? What should I use to kill it and then be able to put sod without it bothering the sod?
