How to remove large patches of crabgrass ?

My garage and patio were recently completed. The contractor spread seed and mulch on the exposed dirt which is over half of my yard. My sod was perfect until he laid this stuff down. Since Saturday my daughter and I have filled 5 lawn bags with weeds! I’ve never even seen some of these weeds in my life! I can’t stand looking at this anymore....a lawn service won’t do anything until September....would a sod lifter work to remove the huge patches of crabgrass? I can’t spray anything because I have a dog. Any suggestions? Thank you!
