How And What Grass Seed To Grow In Sandy Apollo Beach FL?

My back yard is very sandy and I want to plant grass seed to make my lawn thicker. We had someone put sod down in part of it and they did an awful job. It’s so bumpy that I almost fall down. I want to plant grass seed on the rest of the area. What do I need to do to prepare the area and what kind of grass should I plant? The front yard has grass but also a lot of weeds. What is the best way to revitalize it. My husband hates when I try to fertilize or feed the front yard because he says it makes the grass and weeds grow faster. But it looks so bare. The only thing that makes it look green are the weeds. Any advice on some plants that thrive here would be appreciated too.
