A homeowner needs to establish a grass lawn on a large bare patch of sand after topsoil removal by builders, but seed fails and Bermuda grass plugs are prohibitively expensive.

Seed fails on sand without topsoil; plugs are too expensive for 10k sq ft; sprig suppliers are hard to find and lack pricing information. There is no clear affordable solution for large-area bare soil lawn establishment.
