100'x100' rocky yard from septic excavation: rake large rocks with heavy garden rake (not leaf rake). Import 10-12" screened topsoil, compact, add 2-3" more, seed. Straw mulch retains moisture.
Zone 4-6: seed now. Zone 7-10: wait for cooler temps. Irrigate daily (warm zones) or every other day (cool zones) until germination. Rocks will resurface—ongoing raking needed first year.
Complete rock removal impossible. Topsoil depth buries most. Consider: hydroseeding for large area efficiency. Soil test guides amendments.
Septic area: avoid deep tilling over drain field. Shallow-rooted grass is ideal cover.
