Default Heavy machinery has damaged my lawn.

Hi,

The nature strip in front of my home was recently damaged by some heavy machinery making it very difficult to mow. There are several depressions in the earth which I have to mow around. Grass doesn't seem to want to grow in the gaps. My neighbour suggested planting some runners but I think this will take too long or be ineffective. What is the best way to level out the earth? Should I just buy a new load of soil to fill in the gaps? Would it be better to buy some new grass, make an attempt at leveling the soil and relaying sections of the nature strip?

Thanks for your advice,

Graeme.
