new build, rock filled yard. (self.homeimprovement)

Hey all!

I know this may only be somewhat related to this thread but I was hoping for some help with my lawn.

I just moved into a new build and most of the 1.5 acre yard is red clay and rocks. So many rocks.some bigger than my fist, most on the small side. I've tried to pick them up but it feels like an impossible task.

Further more, I have found that 75% of these rocks are not rocks? They are hard and silver but if I squeeze them hard enough the break up.

I can't tell between a rock that will break my window from my lawn mower and these faux rocks.

Any tips on getting my lawn in order?

The rocks could be tightly packed silt, loose sandstone, or maybe mica from excavation. Pictures would help.

Sorry for the late reply!

Here are some of the rocks. A big pile. An example of the breakable rocks and the "real" ones

Yeah looks like Mica and sandstone. Unfortunately landscapers/contractors love to just cover things up with top soil and run away.
