not with a new lawn. watering during the heat of the day can burn the grass, watering once the sun is off it allows the roots to suck up the water without the chance of burning. Need to get the roots deep before causing stress.

Till the yard, add leave mulch and top soil during the process.
compact the yard.
go to Central sod and buy enough to cover the yard, put said sod on yard alternating the ends so that one piece ends in the center of the one above and below it.
run compactor over sod to smoosh it in.
water at dusk.

do not fertilize or use weed killer for the first season. After that, a light seeding each september will keep it looking good.
Figure about .20 per square foot to purchase the sod. do not buy from lowes or home depot.

Nah, just depends on how many plugs you add. 1 every 6" or so......
