best seed and soil for shade only grass

Looking to finally tackle my backyard grass problem. Half of it is covered by trees and shade to the point where it's even difficult for weeds to grow. Is there a grass seed worth attempting to grow?
You can clearly tell where sunlight reaches through when the trees have their leaves.
I called Clegg's and they recommended I go with river silt instead of top soil. Would also like to know thoughts on this as well.

Maybe get a soil test? PH probably off.

Native topsoil not river silt/sand

You need to remove a couple trees. Bermuda/Zoysia is the only warm season seed. You won't be able to grow either there. If you don't want to remove a couple trees then mondo grass is probably your only bet. Geo zoysia may be able to grow there but you have to sod it and it won't be cheap.
