Can I lay some sod to right now?

I am in Atlanta, but always been told you can do it just before fall. In fact they are replacing the sod in the office building next to mine today. There are about 30 pallets sitting outside now.

It's still summer so sure. Root growth is key just keep it watered. rye grass could hold it over winter for ya until spring if you wanted to go that route.

Rye grass instead of sod? Or in addition to? I always hear people say rye grass....but wasn't sure what value it added...keeps the soil from just being bare?

Rye grass is a cool season grass so stays green and puts out roots in the winter. Many people over seed their lawns with rye so they have a green lawn in the winter. Rye will die back when it gets hot.

I seeded my lawn one winter with so called certified rye grass 90 + something percent from pennington seed...

I've been fighting weeds in my lawn since...

Yes, just keep it watered.

Right on. Also for people that need to stop erosion in the winter and feed deer.
