If you want a "putting green" type lawn you gotta kill all weeds first, usually with some fairly nasty chemicals. If, like me, the two primary considerations for an acceptable lawn are that it's green and you can run over it with a lawnmower, then I've had a lot of luck broadcast seeding over the loose soil, then rolling it, and spreading straw over the top to retain mositure and discourage birds. Be aware that the straw invariable contains weed seeds.

See your local feed-and-seed place or nursery regarding seed type that is best suited to your area, fertilizer type and application rates, and whether or not you'll need to add lime.
