I did a section along our driveway, about 30 feet long, and 2 feet wide. My neighbor had picked up 4 or 5 18" by 18" squares of sod, which I cut into quarters, and then placed at intervals in the "dead" area. I watered every day for a month, and walked on these pieces to make sure they were in good contact with the ground. By the end on the month, I had a partial lawn, and several weeks later a full lawn. Further the initial cost of around $20 saved me well over $1000 that were in the area of the 2 quotes I got from lawn scaping companies. It took about 2 hours for the initial planting, and 15 to 20 minutes each day for watering.
