the area and relay the existing turf or you can fill the low areas of the lawn with some sand and soil to create a level surface.<br>Both of these methods assume that the existing grass is of a quality that&#8217;s worth saving.<br>With the method of adding sand and soil to the low areas, the key is to add it in stages over a few weeks or months depending on the time of year so you do not smother the grass plants and they have a chance to grow through the sand and soil before you add another dressing of sand and soil, gradually filling the low spots.<br>In deeper hollows or holes in the lawn, you could either lift the turf in this area or smother the grass in these areas with the sand and soil and over-seed with some grass seed which matched the existing lawn.<br>Ideally, the mix should be a silver sand and loam topsoil, half and half mixed together.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With uneven lawns a couple of solutions exist, firstly you can remove the
