The last one is right. Cool weather grasses, i.e., tall fescue, should
be planted or overseeded sometime in September. Depends on how hot it
is. The cooler the better. You might try this link for more info

Hello,

I'm getting conflicting advise from a couple of landscapers that I've
solicited bids from, regarding laying sod in my back yard. We're in Wake
Cty, just south of Raleigh, and our yard has fescue grass on it. Some
portions of it need to be re-sodded due to a large construction project.

One is telling me "no problem".

The other is telling me that I should wait until fall, because if they
lay the sod now, it is unlikely it will thrive in the hot summer months
and will die before cool weather arrives.

Who's right?
