I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to how to go about landscaping a flip property during the cold (December/January) months in Portland, Oregon. While siding the project most of the grass was killed. I know sod is decently cheap but would simply re-seeding the property work? Just looking for suggestion.

@Steven Denio your best bet will be sod during this time of the year. Re-seeding likely will not work too well now I think. we always do sod for our projects, its a good investment for the instant curb appeal and pretty pictures. I tried re-seeding once or twice, but dealing with the unknown of if it will grow well is not worth the savings (if any).

Seed won't germinate in winter. Depending on the site, maybe do a mulch bed around the perimeter of the house and some foundation plants. That would look good with fresh siding.
