re: What grass seed to use that grows fast and thick...

Yea I would think Nashville would be a tough place to pick a type of grass. Really not an ideal climate for any type. A little too cold for Bermuda, too warm for Bluegrass.

Definitely go talk to someone in the area with expertise. I would think Bermuda would be fine, but with winters like the one we're having that might be risky. Fescue or zoysiagrass might be your best bet up that way, or one of those new hybrids. Someone may sell a sod with a mixture up that way.

Rye in the winter but it's really too late for that now. You could try throwing some out and maybe we'll get a warm spell but whatever's growing there native now will begin to germinate in a little over a month anyway. You would need to start from scratch early in the summer and resod, but that's quite a process and a lot of work for a lawn that't not yours.

When warm spring temps roll around, it turns to seed, makes ground hard as a wedding dick, then dies.

It's too late to plant it anyway. That's done in early October or overseeding later if ground is not tilled.

To the OP, it's too late to plant any grass. Well, you can throw out seeds but none will grow.
