# How to Fix Lumpy Grass
A lumpy lawn is basically caused by significant differences in the depth levels throughout your property. Even an inch of difference can be enough to make a simple task such as mowing your grass more difficult. There is a process you can use to fix the lumpy grass in your yard. How much work and how much time this process takes will depend on the overall difference in depth of the various lumpy areas on your property.

1
Add more topsoil to your lawn to even out areas with less than an inch of difference. This amount of soil shouldn't kill the grass beneath it, which will eventually grow over the topsoil you added.
-
2
Shovel on more topsoil in areas with a depth greater than 1 inch. Since this amount of topsoil is more likely to kill the grass beneath, you'll need to reseed.
-
3
Add grass seeds to the topsoil that needs to be reseeded. Rake over the seeds once they're added to the soil.
-
4
Water the seeds thoroughly once they're laid to promote growth. Continue to water daily until the grass starts to sprout.
