So what would you recommend with Kentucky blue? I would like to keep the
dark green look and soft feel theme.

We are in the process of building our cabin, and wanted to plant a

little
over 1.25 acres of Kentucky blue on a portion of the remaining land.
The soil is of the sandy type, and we are located in southern Oregon
at around 4500 ft. The property originally had pine trees and sage
brush. Some of the pines remain, but I have rough graded the property
to rid it of the sage and tree stumps. We are not expecting to move
in until the fall of '04, so we have time to do everything right.

If any, what would you recommend as a topsoil combination?

Something with organic matter is a real fine way to start. Beware of
the shredded fill dirt that some label as topsoil.

Best and most
efficient way of smoothing out the rough grade, so no there are no

abrupt
changes throughout the lawn?

A Bobcat with a rock-hound implement,if you're not trying to change the
grade much.

Sod, seed, or hydroseed? Best time of year
to plant? Any other tips that would be beneficial? Thanks in advance.

Best time is fall.

Btw..never plant all the same variety of grass seed.

A blend of blues,perennial rye,and fine fuscue.
