Maybe Raccoons. You likely have grubs. Treat for grubs and the animals will lose interest. To confirm, dig in the torn up areas and look for them.

My guess is raccoons if they’re in your area, I’ve seen this happen before around here and the culprit was raccoons. Motion activated sprinklers chased them off.

Google “racoon damage in yard” looks exactly like this imo. You have grubs most likely

I own a nuisance wildlife removal company and that is definitely raccoons. They’re the only ones that will roll it up to where it looks like sod.

I had a skunk do something similiar to my freshly seeded backyard. Guess I am reseeding in spring. Why do I know it was a skunk. Because my dog got sprayed. :p

As others have mentioned, it’s caused by Raccoons, Skunks, and sometimes birds (Crows, robins etc). You have grubs in your lawn and the local wildlife is just trying their best to help you deal with them.

That is a raccoon , do this long enough and you can tell by the type of damage
Skunks and armadillos dig holes
Raccoons cut the sod and roll it back

Raccoons, armadillo, and wild hogs come to mind depending on your region.
I’ve seen raccoons pull up recently sodded yards to root around for grubs. The owner had to use sod staples to keep the sod planted in place.
