Yes!!
If you have heavy clay or very sandy soil you might also want to till an amendment in at this time. Look at mushroom compost--if available in your area it makes a great amendment that is also affordable.
It would be a good idea to spray a pre-emergent 4 weeks before planting as well, to prevent weeds from taking over. This is true whether you plan to lay sod or sow from seed.
Here's a site with some tips and tricks:

examine the packet/field - they supply the cautioned portions in keeping with sq. metre on those. Sow onto a finely raked aspects then basically rake over after sowing to purely somewhat conceal the seed. Grass seed specifically, as quickly because it extremely is watered, is able to orient itself so as that the rising root is to the backside.

Yes... BUT!
If you have trees around, tilling will destroy the feeder roots for the tree, which often extend past the tree's canopy. Without the small feeder roots near the soil surface, the tree will be weakened (esp. in drought/heat) and it could potentially kill it.

Absolutely. If the ground is loose, it is easier for the grass to take root.

Yes, it allows it to root better.
