Preparing to plant - old plants & weeds

Hi everyone,

So I’m fairly new to gardening, after living in our first house for a few years now We’re finally making a start on the garden (it currently looks like the amazon jungle!)
I’m planning on building a few sleeper beds where there were previous plants and a wild amount of bineweed, I have cleared the areas of all the weeds and existing dead-ish plants but do you think I should use some sort of weed killer ?? There is nothing that I’m aiming to save so I’m not worried about that, I’m just worried this bineweed and old plants are just going to keep reappearing and of course once the beds are built it’s going to be harder to remove! I heard bineweed can be a nightmare! I also read that boiling water helps? Surely I’d need something stronger? I have two dogs and a 2 year old, not that he goes in the garden currently but don’t really want to use anything that could potentially harm the doggies ?
