Well, they say the best time to start a new lawn is in the fall or spring. That may depend on your location I guess, but that's for where I am (new york). You'll have to keep them well watered no matter what. Sprinkler on a couple of hours at least once, prob twice a week. Maybe thats why people put the bottles of water out. (I'm assuming to slowly drip and keep ground moist) Hope I could help.

hey buddy
it would be a great time to add to your soil to make better lawn
depending how nice of a lawn you want to have..is too what you do...
basic is to have 3-4 inches good soil. rake level take rocks and crap out spread grass seed cover with mulch and keep moist..
it depends on size of lot as what methods you want to use...:peace:

Even though it may seem sac religious, if you get yellow spots in your grass, just pour some beer onto it. It will grow back in no time.
