The final grade was nice and smooth yet by the time it had sod, it is full of hols and uneven...part of it is from some dumb azz driving a large tractor across the lawn post-sod after a rain. But most i s prob from the shoddy sprinkler install after final grade but before the sod was laid.Since the lawn is on hard clay and the sod is established for several years, AND the yard is also mostly on a slope, I figure it easier to add dirt to the low spots and re-seed them than to re-scrap the lawn and rip up the existing sod; not to mention the sprinkler heads.Dogs but they are just in charge of the fertilizer...the yard is way too big and fenced for kids to have any effect although my daughter made lemonade out of lemons but suggesting we go sledding on our otherwise useless slopped backyard LOL.Yes, essentially the new dirt in the holes will fit the definition of a new lawn. I think I will follow this procedure:- dump mounds of dirt (I have loose red dirt/clay mixed with sand about 50/50) in the low spots- rake to a rough grade by hand- roll with tractor/roller OR use hand tamper for spots too steep for tractor/roller- seed- roll again- water</blockquote>
