The natural look is a bit overrated with the recent additions of fire ants, coqui frogs, semi- slugs, rats, pigs, and now dead or dying ohia for trees.
Rip the 1\4 acre clear and and level it if possible, very hard if its solid blue rock. Then order a load or two of 6 " minus cinder from Sanford's large trucks to help fill in your low areas. Then Buy 3-4 loads of 1" minus Black cinder from sanfords to cover your area with 1-6 inches. Some kind of fert should be laid down a week or so before your grass seed. Then Buy about 20 bails of peat moss to help cover your grass seed and hold in a little moisture. You shouldn't count on the rain, so have a back up plan on how to keep your grass seed wet for two weeks. A couple of popular grass seeds right now in the area are centipede and zoysia. The zoysia would cost you about $500 more for your lot size, but it has its advantages.
Have fun harvesting blue rock, watering, and watching your grass grow, good luck. If you have excess or waste rock left from the rip you can try craigslists( people are always looking for fill rock) rock wall garden beds can be nice too. Sounds fun!
