That depends on what you are trying to accomplish in your yard. It is safe for the grass to be laid any time of the year, however, it will be dormant and brown in the winter months, so if you are looking for a green yard immediately, you may want to wait for the spring and summer months.

Other than sod, the only other thing we sell is top soil.
