Hi Liz! You could put seed down. If you do, put a LOT down and then water, water, water. Every day. A lot! If you have access to sod, that's even better. I know here in Missouri, it's just not available unless you hire a company to sod your lawn. It's great, but expensive. We had a new deck put on this spring and they had to dig up our yard.
