Or just mow it really short, fill over it and put more seed down.

Sounds easier


If it isn't urgent, you can top-dress half an inch thick with good,
preferably rather sandy, soil every year till it's level. If it grows
really well and you're in a mild area, you might even top-dress twice a
year.


The sand sound a great idea.

The dip is only about an inch.

Can I mowe it now and lay some sand before the winter sets in ?

Many Thanks.

Rick

I wouldn't use sand on its own as it tends to get a film of algae and clog
up. Sandy loam should be better.
