All we have are clay soils here also. The REAL issue is incorporating the topsoil into the native soil rather than just spreading it on top of the clay.
We do both seed and sod here. Climate, time of year and immediate care impact the establishment. I looked at some new yards yesterday and the ones planted during the drought last fall look lots worse than the newer ones planted when rain was more plentiful. Since this is done before the homeowner moves in, care is problematic.
