It's so badly weeded that I'm tempted to kill the whole area and then dig it
up and start again (it's a small area at the side of my house). Does that
make sense? If so, what's the best weedkiller to use on an area than you
plan to grow grass?

If you mow it regularly, most of the weeds will subside. The remainder,
such as clover, daisies, buttercups etc. will like lawn conditions and
will re-appear unless you re-soil and re-seed the area.

Or you can water it with Verdone, which is a weed killer for use on
grassed
areas.
