If is very hard to get grass to grow good in sand, but it is possible. Takes shorter but more often waterings since the water likes to run away in the sand. We used a fescue grass and it works the best for us. Flowers seem to be hit and miss, but mostly it seems that everything I've planted does come up (lilies, hostas, ferns, bee balm, daisies, lilacs, black eyed susans, etc)
