Default BIG weeds, and strimming.

I've been asked to clear up the area around some lock-up garages.
My first thought was to just go round with the strimmer to ground level,
which wouldnt be too taxing a job.
To do it properly though, I have recommended a spraying of weedkiller,
then to strim the remains a week or so afterwards.
It is mainly dock plants, a rather large type of clover plant, as well
as lumps of tough grass.
Would it be best to weedkiller first, in the hope that this will stop
re-growth for a few months, or just go ahead with the strimming.

I am assuming that a coating of Sodium Chlorate on the remains of the
strimed weeds in the ground, would not have much effect, and it would
have to be put on the 'full' plants.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Alan.
