I just had to have a new septic system put in and the process "touched" a
solid 10,000 sq ft of the property between truck damage, piles, etc...
They put a nice layer of screened loam down on top of all of it and raked
it out and so now I'm trying to determine best course of action. Trees are
starting to put leaves down but that flow rate isn't too high yet. Soon
though. It's cooler too. What do people suggest here? Cover it with a
rapidly establishing junk grass and do it right next year? Hydroseed now
and pray it takes? At the right time of year, I know enough to do the job
right but now with leaves and dropping temps, I'm unsure. I'm open to the
full range... I just hate doing things twice. Thanks.

Sow some winter wheat and nuke it next spring with Roundup before planting
your desired grass.
