How to fix lawn dips while fixing your tired lawn. A simple guide to lawn levelling.
In this video, I will be showing you how to fix all the various dips and bumps in your lawn. This is carried out during the renovation stage of creating a nice new lawn.
The dip levelling process begins at 23:45, however if you watch all the video parts you can see what order and how I carry out each part (and why).
The end result will be a lawn that looks so much better, and will be much flatter and easier to maintain.
