Post weed removal

Hi

Thanks for responding to my previous post. I just need some more help as I'm amateur gardener.

I've got plenty of weeds on bare soil, no lawn at the moment. Soil is okay at the moment but pretty uneven and I've to put 15cm of topsoil to make it level.

I've tried to remove them by digging up but sometimes their roots are too deep and they just break up. Will it be a problem if I leave those broken roots or I've to take them out whatever happens. I most case I really have to dig deep to get to them.

Once all the weeds are removed and site is cleared I'll be putting 15cm of topsoil on top of existing soil. Will that help OR the weeds will still penetrate from there as well.

I'll put ready made turf on top of that once leveled and free from weed.

Also I was thinking of getting the rotovator if it makes life easier as there are plenty of weeds and digging is taking decent time.
Please let me know if that will be helpful so that I can rent one out or should I just use hand tools.


Thanks in advance for all the help.
