One good trick, try planting annual rye first. Annual rye is very fast germinating, will sprout in three days or so. After the rye is about 1 inch tall, plant the tall fescue. The annual rye will hold the soil and the seeds in place, allowing the fescue time to germinate and establish a root system. The rye, being an annual, will die after the first year, and all you'll have left is the fescue.

First of all, that depends on where you live. The annual rye not a bad idea because it does germinate really fast, but if you live in the South the fescue might struggle in dry weather.
