If you’re going to go with such a high quality sod I would go ahead and it right. Get the power rake of sod cutter and clear ever out.
You honestly don’t need to till. If there was an 1/8th of an inch of dirt on your sidewalk your tif would root. You can drop the sod right after raking. Just water and it will grow.

Thanks for the great replies. I really appreciate it.
Can I scalp the lawn this weekend or should I wait until everything is truly dead? It's mostly all yellow now, so it's dying.
Will the compaction of my soil be a problem? It's very compacted.
Thanks again!

Having a hard time finding TifTuf bermuda in stock right now.
I've got the power rake reserved for this Saturday. How long can the yard go from power raking to actually laying sod?
Will a few weeks be OK? Should I hit with another round of glyphosate?
If I can't get Tiftuf, what other type of Bermuda is drought tolerant? Keep in mind, I really only want to cut once a week and I don't want to have to fertilize every month. Common? Miller Grass has Tex Turf 10 Bermuda, but I can't find any info on it.
I only have a regular Honda mower too... I've been researching and people are talking about verticutting, growth regulators, etc... all seems very confusing. I've had St Aug my whole life up until now. I just had to cut once a week and do pre and post emergent sometimes.
Is Bermuda a difficult grass?

To get around the too much labor for one person problem, I saw someone say they were thinking about doing a pallet a weekend.
So I could save delivery fee by picking up one pallet, which will fit in my f150. Take my time laying the 450 sq ft on a Saturday and concentrate my watering efforts to that small area. I don't have a sprinkler system, just regular sprinklers.
Then about 2 weeks later, repeat the process.
Any issues with this? Seems much less overwhelming this way too.
