Boiling water. Renting one of those steam cleaners would be easier, but just boiling water would be cheaper. In other words, cook it! -

If you are able to lay a thickish layer of newspaper or cardboard a few inches below the pathway to be laid. Works like a charm and ink is vegetable based now which is a big bonus too! The layer of topcoat should be about 4: for maximum protection. The sod that you cut out first should be laid upside down on top of the paper/cardboard and then "topped up". Learned this from a Master Gardener here in Ontario Canada. You can also create a new garden bed by using just the sod trick no paper/cardboard layer for your pretties or yummies~ Zero waste is music to my ears. -
