Filling holes and "dents" in my lawn
This is probably a FAQ but I can't find it. I have a variety of holes
in my lawn, ranging from tiny but deep ones that look like something a snake might live in, to larger "indentations" that are just big and deep enough that if you stepped in one funny you'd twist an ankle, all the way up to areas of the lawn that look like they're sloping off more than they should (and perhaps more than they did last year). I don't think I can do anything about the latter (although I am afraid about "sinkholes" that my neighbor keeps talking about, Ive heard those can really screw with your foundation). But as for the other two, what are they and how to I fix/fill? I have a zillion chipmunks, are they digging the holes? What can I use to fill in the anklebreakers? |

Filling holes and "dents" in my lawn
For deep but small depressions, as well as smaller depressions or holes, I
take a tree spade and cut an 'X' over the space to be raised, through the turf. I then peel the turf back, lay down topsoil (tamp it), and then roll the turf flaps back into place. You can flip them back several times to check the levelness, adding or removing soil as required. Dave "Duane Morin" wrote in message om... This is probably a FAQ but I can't find it.
