My dogs absolutely destroyed the yard over winter. All the zoomies killed the grass. Will grass seed fix this or do I need more extreme options?

    can you cover it with damp peat moss or grass clippings? Keep it watered.

    I’d worry about all the weeds first 😅

    Did you have grass before?

    This looks like weeds and pinestraw.

    As a complete novice, that soil looks pretty heavily sandy. I’m gonna assume you’re in Eastern NC. If you’re wanting actual grass, you may be limited in what can grow in that type of soil without heavy amendments.

    I’ve seen warm season grasses more frequently the further East I go from Raleigh where the soil does get sandier as you approach the coast. These could be an option for you, but I think they are typically installed by laying sod versus seeding.

    i would weedwack that down to the ground, get a top soil delivery put 1 inch and buy sod, it is much more durable

    also make sure irrigation is installed, if it isnt, its easy now that there isnt any grass

    feed and water after you get it
