My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Seeding October 7th - doomed? Options? Dormant seeding???

14 years ago

Due to extenuating circumstances (what else is new?) I can't seed the backyard until October 7th (South-central CT). (TTTF/KBG)

I'm starting to wonder what I should do, since it's getting late in the season.

If I put the seed down and then there's a frost in 4 weeks, I'd be in trouble, right?

I've got all my topsoil in piles, ready to spread.
