fescue is a cool season grass and does go dormant. and can be laid while its dormant. it still my be kept moist though.

march/april is the best time to sod, fall is the best time to seed.

you can seed in the spring time as well.

I ask because our backyard is truly a mud pit - we laid sod last spring, and then it rained for forty days and forty nights and we discovered the extent of our yard’s drainage problems, which we’ve since remedied. If new sod could be laid now and have a good chance of making it, I might consider it for a portion of the yard. Just because, omg, the mud!


which builders?

Developers sod because a sodded lawn is included in the purchase. They don’t care if it takes or not.

I would wait for later winter/early spring.

I would wait if I were you. It has a chance but it will have a better chance once the risk of frost is gone.
