First, you must find out why it died, and fix that problem.

a good raking will remove all the dead stuff from the lawn, then go down and rent a lawn aerator, it punches holes in your lawn which allows both air and water to reach the roots. Then water regularly and watch the lawn come to life. Cut as required.

Lawns are such a high maintenance item. Obviously your climate and soil cannot naturally sustain the few species that make up the usual lawn.
There are alternatives that don't require high water usage (and utility bills!) and still allow you to keep your held held high with the neighbours.
You could: 1. lay decorative brick work or flag stones; 2. dig all of it up for flower beds; 3. plant lots of shrubs; 4. sow wild flowers and go natural; 5. go Japanese with a pond, shruggery and gravel; or a combinations of any or all of the above.
Of course, you could always cement it over and paint it green.

Grass Seed and fertilizer. However, depending on the are of the coutry, now may not be a good time to plant. If you are not in a warm climate, wait until late Feb or early march before putting down seed. You also will want to break the surface of the soil first, a stiff garden rake should suffice.

Are you sure? Where do you live--and did you move there this year? I remember a friend from Chicago relating her parents coming to visit her new home in Oklahoma at Christmas, and her father was adamant the grass was dead in her yard. Didn't do any good to tell him it was dormant. Of course, when he came back next summer: "well, I see you planted a new lawn!". Anyway if you live in the south or mid south, it might just be dormant bermuda or rye.

go to your local home improvement store and purchase a hardy type of grass seed. depending on the area that you are in this will be different for everybody. ask the sales people in lawn & garden which would be the best for you. keep off of it until it really takes hold.
