How can I make my lawn pretty in a few weeks?

[stevepaa]

I have done about 8 lawns, 7 resods and one reseed. I'll never do reseed again. I f you spend a few hours each night you can probably get the old stuff up, prep the ground, and get it flat in maybe a week

Then you can probably put down maybe 1000 sq feet in a day of sod with a couple of helpers to offload the sod from the pallets and bring it to you to lay.

Good luck

I'm doubting this is an option, but what do they get for sod?

[stevepaa]

You can probaqbly get it delivered to you for about 30-34 cents a square foot.

$55 a pallet for hybrid bermuda in Tennessee. 400 SF per pallet. If you are talking less than 3500 SF, sod is the way to go. A few weeks is far too short for growing from seed. Actually, you might consider overseeding. If you have some ground cover now, overseeding will fill in the sore spots.

Consider expense vs increase in sales price or reduced listing time.

Not having automobiles tumble all over it would be a good start. Not that I'm a gardener or anything.

Don't do a panic sell because some hairball crashed in your front yard. Take your time.

Calculate your big decisions very carefully.

if your present lawn looks like "trees vomited", then re-sodding is back breaking work. i was going for brownie points with my gfriends mother, when i said, "do you want me to fix your lawn?" she didnt say a single word, but went somewhere (the garage?) and handed me $2k, in benjamins. i threw down a herbicide and killed everything, rented a tiller, installed a sprinkler system, supplemented her soil with some goodies, and then leveled and sodded. i trashed 4 weekends, but i was under budget at about $1600. ***** the brownie points, never again.

someone mentioned it above, hydroseeding. maybe that is an option.
