Thanks guys,
So is it faster if I just killed it and started over with new sod?
Can it be done in one year? I may sell in that timeframe, not sure yet.



It can be done in much less than a year- if you do the prep work properly,
lay the sod correctly, and stay super vigilant about your watering schedule
while it is getting established.
If you screw up with any of those three it is a waste of money.

If you're going to do it now, get cracking. The worst of the heat isn't here
yet, but it will be soon, and sod wihtout established roots dries out very
quickly. If you are hand watering (no irrigation system) I would go as far
as having the install done on a vacation week or two so you will be
available to keep to the watering schedule on those first crucial weeks.
