When I was a kid the landscapers would put "Salt Hay" on top of new lawn seed beds.

I never new what the "salt" part of the hay thing meant until lately. If you use plain hay you will get the weed and pasture seeds from wherever the hay came from in your new lawn. If you can find "salt" hay you will have no problem, as "Salt Hay" is hay from salt marsh that needs a salty environment to germinate, so normal residential lawn use as a seed bed topping will not cause introduction of pasture seeds into your yard.
