I think the key word here is “leveling” not regrading. You’re adding at most, an inch of sand to a “divot” in a lawn. It’s really no different that me going to Lowe’s to dump a bag of top soil on a “bald spot” in a lawn.

It sounds like you have a clue what you're talking about & generally I'd agree with you.

If it was as simple as dumping a bag of soil from Lowe's on the area, I suspect the poster would have just done that and not be seeking a "contractor".

Having more than a few years of experience in TV & on TOTV, the terminology used by non-professionals is open to a wide variety of interpretations.

What someone in TV and TOTV considers "leveling", is likely to be something I'd use a Cat D8 to do.
