How long must I wait after applying a weed and feed product to safely apply grass seed?

There are many different weed and feed products containing different herbicides and they have different waiting periods. The waiting period can also depend on your application rate with heavier applications requiring a longer waiting period. You will have to read your product label for instructions as to when you can re-seed.
Option 1) lie down stones over the top of the wet area coming out 5-6 ft from the fence creating kind of a dry creek bed . Across the whole back of the property. Something like pictured below but maybe without the edgers on the fence side. Would this look ok? Would this help keep mosquitos down as any standing water would be under the rocks? Do we have to dig down and remove the turf or just kill what grass there is an put down the stone?
example: 
Option 2: run a French drain across the wet area . I'm assuming this would have to run all the way across our property and the neighboring property and dump into the sewer drain?
Option 3: have 1 or 2 deep holes dug and filled with stone then covered with top soil. Essentially dry wells. Could also use the nds flo well? How big do the holes need to be for this option? For diy what kind of equipment would one use to dig that deep?
Which option is best? Is there a better idea? Thank you
