Hopefully you've done this, but you should consider why your lawn needs
reseeding first. Correct any drainage problems, compacted soil etc. before
starting otherwise next year, you'll be back to square one.

If you have a dog then the lawn is already in trouble. I've never seen a
lawn yet that looked anything other than ragged with dogs around (except
perhaps for the chihuahua/huge meadow combination which has some hope ;-) ).

As to seeds, I've used rye grass mix on my own lawn to withstand my
children. Bits of it are still very brown in the current weather but I
garden organic and I'm not wasting gallons of water on it. If you don't
mind it, clover works well in a lawn and certainly seems to help keep it
looking nice and green.

Finally, preparation, preparation, preparation! Dig, rake, settle etc. etc.
And get out all those stones before the first lawn-moving throws one through
the shed window - or is that just me?
