John,skip step 1 in the Scotts program and immediately have someone hydroseed it.Keep it wet and fertilize regularly.Aeration is done to compacted soil to provide oxygen to the roots of the plant,typically at a residential account once every few years is enough.This will give you what you want but it's easy to go overboard.A good fertilizer to use is Scotts turf builder.Crabgras control will prevent ANY seed from germinating so don't use it this year

If you are willing to do the work once every couple of years, Raven's suggestion of a natural compost will produce a lawn that will require less maintenence in the longrun. I prefer this method because I hate dumping chemicals into the earth.
