I have a yard that was horrible. It was a foreclosure property with an unmaintained yard for 2 years! 98% weeds everywhere.. i used Ortho Weed B Gone Max w/ Crabgrass Killer. It killed all weeds now I have 2% grass / 98% dead weed. I dont want to till the yard. My plan is to do a core aeration, seed, add starter fertilizer, water then cross my fingers and see what happens................ then reseed again in the fall....

I want to use a fesue seed... do you know of a good seed to use? Scott? Pennington? LESCO? if so what have you been successful with?

Im leaning toward Scotts Southern Gold (lowes) or maybe that Scotts Water Saver brand w/ the seed coated with that water absorbant material... I also hear good things about LESCO Transition Blend..

I plan on seeding on either April 18 or 25th? [the crabgrass killer in the Ortho said i have to wait 4 weeks to seed] - do you think that date is too late to seed or should I wait to the fall

let me know your thoughts........
Im in Atlanta , GA

Scotts and Pennington can be a little "shaky" at times, although I have seen improvement with both companies recently, I would still trust Lesco a little more. The dates you listed are ok to seed. No need to wait till fall.
