Lawn decision

Oh yes.. forgot to mention, Western Mass. Thanks.

It's too late to establish a lawn from seed in your area. Sod is still an option. If erosion isn't going to be a problem and you don't care what it looks like, you could leave it till spring. If not, the other alternative is annual rye grass. It's the fastest growing grass, and only survives for one season, so you can seed again in the spring with the desired grass.

I did the "annual" rye grass 2 years ago in a garden area. I still can't get rid of it - and I've plowed it under twice.

Sow some winter wheat and nuke it next spring with Roundup before planting your desired grass.

Unless its on your front lawn or something, I would just get some cheap bales of mulch hay and cover the soil to prevent erosion and then do it right in the spring. It is just too late in the season. You could get some kind of quick annual grass going if you wanted but it would just get in your way in the spring. I have projects that also require another month or two of summer but frigging winter is coming despite all of my objections. Does every year.

Take a look and see how deep below the surface the septic tank is. If it is shallow, then it would be a good time to mix in a large bag of peat moss with the soil so the thing doesnt brown out on you in the summer.
