Q
What materials should I use to raise depressions in my lawn around retaining walls and sidewalks?
Answer(s)
A
If you are trying to level out lumps in preexisting lawn, the only way is to cut out the depression, fill in with topsoil mixed with compost, replace sod, and water in well. Very difficult to put anything on top of lawn, expecting to raise the level.
