as you can see, it isn't much, but it is craptacular grass now... and it is a decent size for the city. (wicker park)

Generally the fall is ideal for planting...

Default Fall. That said, you will achieve better long-term results by growing from seed.
don't go cheap on the seed and check for a low percentage of weed seeds in the mix.

Meh. Brick it up! Unilock. I suppose with kids though, you want the grass.

Default odd, I had trouble finding sod in the fall...
If I DO seed, how long for the seed to take enough to walk on?

When should I plant that? Any tips?
