problem leveling my lawn
 

I have a Static caravan with a patch of grass about 20 feet by 50, but its quite uneven in places. i can't dig it (park rules) and i don't think i'd be allowed to roll it.
What i thought of doing was to cut the grass as short as possable and then fill in the dips with top soil, then re-seed it.
The dips rage between 1" and 4" and maybe 4-5feet in diameter. This would cover about 20% of the lawn.
my question is:- whold this work? would the new seed take and would the covered grass die?

sounds a bit weird, but i don't want to mess up the lawn i have.

Yes, it will work. Grass covered deeply will die, not deeply will push
through, so it really doesn't matter. Just make sure you get quality
screened top soil and appropriate grass seed. Use a starter fertilizer
and keept it constantly moist. For a small job like this, I like to
use some peat moss and sprinkle it lightly around on the surface after
seeding. That helps keep it wet. You can also use straw, but many
times that has weed seed in it and can be harder to find.
