My lawn is uneven—how can I level it?

Depending on their depth, uneven spots in the lawn can be gently and permanently leveled. The key factor is how deep the depressions are. Here's how to do it right:


Minor unevenness (up to about 1 cm)

These can be easily corrected with quartz sand.

Procedure:

Important Notes:

  • The shorter the grass is mowed, the easier it is to spread the sand

  • The tips of the blades of grass must still be visible after sanding → If the lawn is completely covered, it will be damaged

  • It's a good idea to fertilize about a week beforehand → The sand helps the lawn grow faster

  • Optionally, you can reseed immediately before sanding → but in that case, sand only very sparingly


Moderate unevenness (more than 1 cm)

We recommend using lawn soil or a soil-sand mixture.

Procedure:

  • Apply topsoil to the depressions

  • Spread evenly without smothering the lawn

Important:

  • Here, too, the tips of the grass must remain visible

  • Larger uneven areas usually cannot be leveled in a single pass

  • Do not repeat the process until the grass has grown completely through the lawn soil


Significant unevenness (severe sagging)

For fast and clean results:

  • Cut out a section of turf from the affected area

  • Lift carefully

  • Add a layer of lawn soil (soil-sand mixture) as a base

  • Replace the sod and press it down

After that:

  • Water the area regularly until the grass has grown back.
