Many answers to this question. A great deal of variables in the question. What kind of surface soil do you have AFTER the construction? I'm finish grading one now that has a foot of dried up "muck" from a pond bottom. If it's not decent dirt, you MIGHT need top soil (maybe in just SOME areas) Generally, I'll start with a box scraper. Get things to grade. Then I MIGHT disc or roto-till if needed. Then I'll fertilize (per need). I have the means of doing basic soil testing. Fertilizer/lime is added ONLY as needed. Then I'll run over everything with a pulverizer. ("Finishing" tool). Now we're ready to seed. Depending on size, I'll use a push type broadcast spreader, a tractor rear mount "spinner", a drop seader, or a power seeder. (I use 6 foot Woods "Turf Renovator) I have a landscape rake that gets used when needed, to keep all the "construction trash" clened up. Good luck. John
