I just thought I’d pop in. We decided which company we were going with, and decided to seed instead of sod, but you can’t seed fescue grass after April 15th in Georgia so we just didn’t move fast enough. (If I had realized that, I would have started these estimates sooner.)

So we have two options.
1) Have them lay all the pipes and prepare the yard for seeding now, then seed ourselves in the fall.
2) Have them do everything in the fall.

It would be nice to get it down now, because we have been having a lot of rain recently and I would love to get it taken care of. The longer we let the water sit around our house foundation, the more risks were taking. But, I’m slightly concerned about having just dirt in our backyard for the next 5 months until we can seed it. Also, our backyard is 100% weeds right now, and I’m thinking that if they prep it now, then we’ll still have to deal with weeds that crop up afterward.

I am disappointed that we didn’t get to lay seed now. I was really hoping that we would have a backyard to spend time in this summer! Oh, well. If we go ahead and do the work now, I can still put up a clothesline which is one of the things that I am anxious to do, especially to take advantage of the summer sun.
