Is there a way to level the ground under the grass now that it's established? Thanks, Dave I assume you mean you want to smooth the surface making it even, *not make it level. *Leveling (ie making horizontal) is hardly practical after you have laid sod. You could top dress it. *Using a friable loam, rake and drag it over the grass, cover thinly overall with almost none on the high spots but *filling up the hollows and cracks. A heavy log of wood pulled by a loop of rope will give you a smooth surface and in time muscles too! * The grass will grow through the dressing and form a smooth mat. *This is best done during the growing season otherwise you can get erosion down the hollows before the grass grows. David You're right and I probably did use the wrong term. I am interested in making the ground "even" (no hills or valleys), and hopefully with all of the tips I've gotten so far that will work. Thanks, Dave It would help to advise knowing the size of the area.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - It's a little bigger than 15 feet by 25 feet. Dave |
