Currently building our new house and am interested in getting
spray-on-lawn (seed). Does anybody have any opionion on this one
way or another?

I have phoned a few companies and the best price I have found is $250
for the minimim fee (which our house will be.....not very big)
Does this price sound expensive?

Thanks

I would firstly ask them what type of seed you are getting.
If it's perennial ryegrass, I wouldn't bother. I mean it's ok, but not one I
would suggest for lawns, speaking from experience of seeing my parents back
lawn which I did with perennial ryegrass seed 4yrs ago. If it's another
"normal" type lawn, such as couch or buffalo, then I guess it's ok. Compare
the prices with turfing, and growing from runners, or even seeding the lawn
yourself.
Just remember, the main thing with propagating from seed is to keep the
ground moist (not wet) and don't let it dry out. Possibly a consideration if
water restrictions are in your area or coming in the near future.
Good luck
