sorry, i was thinking seed- you should be fine in the spring- march april or so- just water lightly and frequently for the first 2-3 weeks and don’t use too much nitrogen going into the fungus season of may/june. your problem will be fertilizing and establishing your new sod without causing too much of a fungus problem.
