Haul it to my house in SC. I need to do the same.
On the hillside, I'd use strawmat after seeding to help prevent the erosion. Around here, you can get the rolls of it for mid $30 range. Each roll is like 7' wide by 100' long. It's like a thin plastic weave with shredded straw blown into it. You lay it over, then use sod staples to hold it in place. I'd go with a couple inches of loam deep, sew the seed, drag or roll to put seed in touch with soil, then lay the mat. I'd leave it loose enough that it can be raked before seeding. Don't overfertilize or you can burn the seed up. Starter fertilizer per directions, heavier fertilizer when it's come up good and roots are in, but still don't overfertilize. May want to have a soil sample done to make sure you don't need lime or other ammendments first. Around here, lime is almost always a necessity.
