Sounds like you want to keep the ground firm and stable for applying
the decomposed granite without worrying about it settling unevenly, so
tilling or digging is out. I'd just use a mower or a weed whip to trim
it as short as possible. That would probably be sufficient. If you
really want to get rid of it, do a small, careful burn of the area
after trimming it as short as you can get it.
