Bootlegger,
I have 1-1/2 acre lot that I just chopped add river silt, rechopped and leveled. I'm looking to maybe seeding with centipede. When is the best time to seed and is there anything I should do before seeded to keep the weeds from the river slit at bay till the grass comes in.

Your looking at $2500+ to seed that with centipede for planting at 1lb per thousand square feet. Seeding is not the way to go with most turfgrasses.
quote:
The expensive seeds are very delicate and require very good planting in a well-developed seed bed and much irrigation. Success with seed is less sure on non-loams and where soils crust over badly. Expect an average 1 ½ years from seeding for establishment on an irrigated, sunny lawn site.

I would wait a bit and see what comes up from the river silt. You may have a torpedograss issue, and you are going to want to go scorched earth on that stuff before you try to establish a lawn.
Seeding is done after the soil temps reach a consistent 70 degrees or so.
