Almost like people purposely misconstrue what you want done, seemed obvious to me.

Have seen many new homes needing leveling after the sod. Mostly due to poorly cut sod or sod that dried out and dropped some soil off the roots in handling.

Bag topsoil from Sparr is my recommendation as it is the only topsoil I found that does not bring in a ridiculous amount of weed seed. Still, watch the leveled areas for a week or three, and pull those weed sprouts early as possible.

I have leveled 100s of lawns over the years. I now only level lawns at homes where I am doing a decent amount of landscape work and try to limit that to 1 or 2 a year.
You don't need Michelangelo to paint your bathroom one color, but you can bet he would do a great job if you paid him what he's worth.

Thank you!!! Excellent information! Just what I need if I'm going to end up doing it myself.
