Though obviously the best way to do it would be to by in some top soil. There are also soil amendments out there that you could mix in with the soil to try and give it some structure. Once you have your ground ready then start to think about what grasses you want.

P.S use a sharp spade or even an axe to chop up your roots and then use a strong steel rake to pull them out.
