User has extremely sandy soil (88.88% sand) that causes grass to brown in heat while weeds thrive, and cannot find information on how to add clay or silt without digging up the lawn.
Search engines and general gardening resources give irrelevant results (e.g., how to fix clay soil) because user's problem is the opposite—adding clay/silt to sandy soil. No dedicated tool provides tailored guidance for amending sandy soil without destruction.
