How do you get rid of ruts in a field?

How do I fill low spots in my lawn?

How much does it cost to fix tire ruts in grass?

Why is my lawn so bumpy?
Several factors contribute to bumpy lawns. ... Freezing and thawing of the soil during late winter and early spring also contributes to the roughness of lawns. The repeated freezing and thawing lifts up or "heaves" the soil, causing the soil surface to become rough or bumpy.
How do you flatten an uneven lawn?
Levelling Shallow Areas
Put a thin layer over the problem area and spread it across evenly. Push the soil down to compact it with your feet or a flat side of a rake. Water the soil a little and leave it to settle. After a few days you can then add grass seed and another light layer of topsoil.
Will aeration level my lawn?
If your soil has a compaction problem, now is the time to aerate the area. Generally, it's better to leave the soil plugs left by core aeration in place to return their nutrients to the soil. But in the case of an uneven lawn, aeration also gives you the opportunity to fill any remaining low-lying areas with the plugs.
