Leveling new lawn.

[Skiuseme]

My wife and I just purchased a new house and have a few ruts that need to be fixed. Currently the ruts are about 6"-8" deep due to water run off. We have cured that issue. What my plan is to do is to pull up the new sod that is over the ruts and fill in with black dirt and replace the sod over the top after tamping it down. I figure this would be the best way to take care of this vs. filling the ruts with black dirt on top of the sod and re seeding in that area.

The sod has started to establish roots into the ground as it has been down for a few weeks. I am still able to pull up on the area so it doesnt have a firm grasp of the ground yet.

Does anyone see a problem with this or should i go as planned?


Thanks
Adam

Re: Leveling new lawn.

When you role the sod back hit it with some water to keep the roots moist.
don't let them dry out.
