Starting lawn from Scratch

15 years ago

I live in central NJ and just bought a house last year. The front lawn looks good, i fertilized and watered with sprinkler system. The back yard needed work, i thatched entire lawn and planted new seed. I watered regularly and the lawn was coming in nice. Then the months of July and August hit which was a complete heat wave. The crab grass just took over and i felt like i was fighting a fire with a water gun. I am trying to figure out the best plan of attack to get that crab grass under control this year and getting a nice lawn in the back. I have raked up all the dead crab grass and removed all dead clippings from last year. I have loose soil now. Should i apply seed and water heavily and hope the crab grass does not come back? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
