Can you use sand to level lawn?
I live in NE Alabama and our extreme drought has caused many sunk in
holes or depressions in my yard. I have access to a couple of free, small truckloads of left over leveling sand, the kind used in construction. A friend wants to use this to fill in the holes in the yard. He says the grass will grow right over it and do fine. I don't share this opinion. I have 1 acre, on a lake, with St. Augustine in the front and mostly centipede in the back. The back slopes more than the front. The drought has damaged all of my grass but I have fertilized and have been extra careful about mowing. I keep the mower set on 2 1/2 to 3 inches in height. Both grasses are rebounding very well as this spring we have had abundant rainfall. I am concerned about putting sand out to fill the holes and depressions. What do you guys think? Should I accept this offer of free sand or wait and get some good topsoil. Thanks, Howard |
