Restoration includes hydroseeding of new grass seed on and around your property in addition to any broadcasted grass seed you may have already seen mixed into the loam. Hydroseed is a resilient mixture of mulch and seed; rain will help it establish and grow, but if you would like to water the area, that can aid the grass growth.
See below for images showing before seeing, during growth, and established hydroseeded grass.
