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 ?
We did the dips in our lawn like this but it took 2 years because the first
helping of sandy loam which was what we used sank a bit. Probably bound to
happen.
