Try a cardboard sheetmulch. This is the only way I was able to garden in bermudagrass and nutsedge in Georgia. If you can spare the area from planting, perhaps a section at a time, for a year or two, the control will be better than if you try to plant through it right away as is often recommended. Just lay overlapping pieces of cardboard, the bigger pieces the better (try furniture and mattress store dumpsters!), at least two layers thick. Just cover with a top-mulch to keep it from blowing away until next season before adding
compost, etc. on top. If you already have the area planted, lay smaller pieces, and paper of any sort, on top of the grass between the plants, tucking al the grass under as best you can, and once again holding all in place with a loose mulch on top. You will find that even though the grass snakes through eventually it will usually give your plants enough of a jump on it to be productive anyway. With tough players like bermuda you may need to put paper/cardboard down every year. Nothing else I tried worked....not tilling, not chickens or pigs penned on an area for months, not plastic mulch to solar-cook the topsoil....
