Can anyone let me know what is a fair price to pay for getting the winter grass seeded?

Give them time to get strong (3-4 inches tall)

I just started the process today on my front yard, and cut it down pretty low. I'll continue to water to keep the ground conditioned. If anyone is interested in renting a dethatcher from ace for a day, please let me know and I'll split it with you. Possibly get a couple of people that want to do their yard and split cost?? I don't have a truck, but can help with anything else along the way. I plan on throwing seed out around the 15th or so of Oct. Winter grass always looks awesome!

Didn't give you a price.. But I will try to remember from last year. I think if you cut your grass short, and just lay the seed down, I believe the bag was like $5 and I needed 3. I also put down 15 bags of multch over it... which i am not sure I didn't need. No where else have I seen them lay winter grass down do that.. BUT!! I did have the best green grass I had ever seen.. This year.. I am buying just the grass. I think in total I have 1780sq ft of grass and it will cost me about $20.

we used a company called trugreen chemlawn. Out of Tempe I believe, not the cheapest but they do excellent work.
