Well Hometown, if a nice rototiller is what you have to work with, and since it is only 3000 feet, work with that.

Some guys might like to go through and spray a herbicide first. Many would not. If you are only using the tiller I would try to make two passes a few days apart. Level it off as well as you can which can be done with anything from a hand rake up and hydro seed. If you did use a herbicide you should wait at least two weeks, preferably three before you hydro seed. The herbicide can effect the germination of your lawn seed.

sod cut it, rake it, seed it

thanks any idea on priceing?

[rmartin]

to prepare for seed i charge .15 per square foot

thats sod cutting and raking out the area-- more if loam is needed

[terracare]

round-up doesnt effect seed germination...
