Another grass related question:

My lawn was laid last summer from scratch and there were two large trees
removed before rotovating, etc. Now, predictably, there are two
depressions
in the lawn where each tree was as the soil has settled down. I want to
raise the level of this to make it flat with the rest of the lawn.

We had to do this in several places, some of them quite big.
Hubby cut the area into 18" squares and then lifted these by cutting under
with the spade to a depth of 3".
Then the holes were filled and jumped upon before puting the turves back in
their original positions.
It all knitted together and settled down nicely - Like Ern' you can't see
the join now!
