Sorry to bump an old thread, but I'm finally able to get around to starting this project. I didn't want to start until I was ready to do it.

Couple questions:

Which Rye seeds would you recommend for this winter?

Once those are down, how long should I wait to put down a pre-emergent?

And what should I know about my yard for a year round grass for next year? (Or is rye suitable for my yard year round?)

Make sure to get a turf rye, it stays shirt and doesn't hold as much moisture. Once the rye has germinated and you can see it growing, it is usually safe to apply pre-emergent (read the label of the one you're using to be sure). Rye grass is an annual, cool-season grass. Not suitable for your summer lawn. I suggest Centipede- "the lazy man's grass".
