Hi John
if you really want a lawn, it won't be cheep. the problem is sand is infertile and drains to well. you could try to work in some topsoil and compost and then seed but if the sand sinks you will waste your time. I would suggest doing a section at a time to ease the expense. There are grasses that grow in areas like that but like i said if the sand sinks or shifts you will wase your money.  Good Luck  Larry  ;-)
