Lawn turf

Hi,
I had a cut out in my lawn, about a square metre. I decided about three months ago to turf this over. I purchased some good quality turf, and covered the cut out. I don't think that I levelled the cut out with enough soil, as now there is a slight hollow. Can I rectify this without taking up the turf, as it is now knitted in.
Regards.

 

If its more than an inch or so (note that you could add some soil now, and more in the Spring once the grass has recovered, and so on)you could cut H shaped slits with a spade, centred on the low (or high) spot, peel back the turf in the "U" shape in the top and bottom halves of the "H", add (or remove) soil - several inches if needs be - and then roll back the turf, firm it down, make sure it doesn't dry out until the roots re-establish and Bob's Your Uncle.

This doesn't exactly qualify under your "Can I rectify this without taking up the turf" , but it might be something you weren't aware of - e.g. if you thought you would have to strip the turf off in order to sort it out.

 

Thank you for your replies. I was thinking about adding some soil on top, but I was not sure if the grass would grow through ok. I will now do this.

 

Just thinking out loud : Would you overseed the top dressing John?
