Answer
Hi Jaimel
First determine the type of soil you have.
To grow well, srass must have good soil.
Too tight soil (clay etc) will not let water and nutrients get to the roots, and will not allow room for roots to grow and spread.
Too loose soil will not hold water and nutrients long enough to do the grass any good.
Take the time to make sure you start with good soil. It will save you years of labor and frustration.
You want well balanced soil, with not too much clay, and niot too much sand, a good sandy loam type.
Whatever the problem with your soil, you can add things and till them in to correct it.
For heavy clay soil, till in enough humus, peat moss and bark mulch to loosen it up properly.
A good mixture is 1 part peat moss. 2 parts humus, and 3 or 4 parts bark mulch.
For heavy clay soil you want half this micture and half existing soil. Till it together to a depth of at least 6 inches, but 8 inches would be better.
Clay can be yellow, brown or black, so I cannot know by the color what it is. Sandy soil is usually light.
To tighten up too loose sandy soil, till in good loam soil, maybe even remove some of the sandy soil and till more loam into what is left.
You want soil that when you take a fist full of it, and clutch your hand, and then open it up, will cling somewhat in a gentle, not too firm ball, and some will fall around the ball. If it holds together in too tight a ball, too much clay, if all of it falls away, and no firmness at all forms, too sandy.
Ideal soil will form a gentle ball and some will fall apart in your hand, and a gentle tap with a finger will break up the ball.
Depending on what type of grass you are going to put in, there are two methids of applying it. By seeding the whole yard, or by putting in grass pluga or pallets, and watering it in.
St. augustime,and  Zoysia are some examples of grass you plug or sod in, and Burmuda, Fescue, Bluegrass etc are grasses better sown from seed.
The type you get is determined by which types do best in your area, and which of those types you prefer.
If you are not sure what kind of soil you have, scoop up a small shovelful and take it to a good nurseryman in your area. He/she can also help you decide which type is best and more desirable for your lawn and prefferences.
The time of year you put in your lawn varies with the type of grass you are going to grow.
It is early enough for you to have your cloice of all the grasses that grow best in your area.
Your nurseryman is familiar with your climate and water needs in the area, so he/she knows which grasses will do best there.
When you have decided on the best grass, and have determined what you need to do, if anyrhing to amend your soil, write me, if you would like information on organic growing (the easiest, least expensine, and least maintenance needs for a great lawn) or if you want recommendations of chemical fertilizer brands. I DO NOT LIKE SCOTT'S!!
I got much better eesults with Fertilome brand products when I used chemicals.
But with oprganics, I do very litle and have a gorgeous, weed free lawn. Practically maintenance free.
I wish I had known about organics many years ago.
Organics is more about what you don't do than what you do.
Now I say, "Grow it the way God intended, and you will have an Eden".
Scott's seems to be about putting every kind of product under the sum on the soil, and you don't need all those things. Like raising a child, you CAN pamper them and tend them untill you do far more harm that good.
