Thank you so much for this video. I believe that having these holes in my lawn is what cause my puppy to have a torn ACL and meniscus.
Oh no! Poor puppy. Hopefully you can get them filled so he can run and play and have fun.
@@TightWadDIY Yes yes thank you ❤️
Similar - my pup sprained his hock. Then I twisted my ankle. So dangerous!
@@rachelleo485 So sorry to hear that.
There couldn't have been a more perfect video for my yard situation. Thank you!
That’s great to hear! I have several lawn maintenance videos so he sure to subscribe.
I think you were talking to me as I would
have just done what you said and added
dirt from the surface! Looks great!
Great video! I was going to just add dirt like you said most people would do, but this makes all the sense.
Thank you-
MrCeora I’m glad you found the video. It works way better than dumping dirt on top!
Finally a video with a hole/depression repair that really works. I have the same spot and twice people turned an ankle on it. I am going out to start lifting that sod.
John Cooper It works really well and disappears within a few weeks.
pro trick : watch series at kaldroStream. Been using it for watching all kinds of movies recently.
@Lucca Dustin Definitely, been using kaldroStream for since november myself :)
@Lucca Dustin yup, I have been using kaldrostream for since november myself :D
THANK YOU. Beeen looking for this solution FOREVER.
You’re welcome!
This video makes so much sense. Great job!
Thanks! I’ve done several holes this way and it works well.
This is exactly what I needed. I have a large hole where a tree stump was removed by the gas company. After a few years its sunken quite a bit and its hard to mow in that area. Going to definitely be doing this
Thank you!
Thank ypu! You just saved me from doing this incorrectly. I have several of these 'depressions'/holes in my yard from a gopher or maybe trees.
They are usually from decaying tree stumps. I’m glad you found the video. Let me know how it goes!
συγχαρητήρια που βρήκατε αυτό το βίντεο με την ευκαιρία στο κανάλι μου, έχουμε μια έκπληξη εκεί 👍
Thank you for this video. I have to do the same and I’m new new to doing anything I’m the yard 😅. Great job 👏🏾
You can do it!
Damn thats exactly the method I'm going to try out. Thanks for the video my friend
My pleasure! It grows back in very quickly!
Thank you for sharing I have a hole in my yard where a tree was there at one time.
This way works pretty good! I filled more spots this spring and by July you couldn’t even tell.
Great idea flipping the sod pieces back so they can flop right back into place after you add the dirt.
Thanks! It works well! Just get it watered really well.
Thanks for the video.
My pleasure. I’m glad you found it helpful .
Thanks!
Very good information. Thanks
You’re welcome. I’m glad you found it helpful.
Thank you. I have to do this today....
It’s a perfect time of year to do it!
Helpful. I've got a whole being drilled by the tub draining right near one of the blocks holding our house up and I really need to repair it before rerouting the flow with a makeshift gutter.
You need to get that fixed ASAP! Make sure you pack the fill dirt in as tightly as possible.
Idk why I didn't think of that. This makes perfect sense and shot easier
It works really well. I filled some more holes this year with the same method.
Genius!
I Love your channel's name, lol! Thanks for the video!
Thanks! I think it fits well. If you know a Tightwad, I’m selling shirts now and just reduced the prices!
Smart!!!
Thanks for this
You are welcome. I’m glad you found it helpful.
Very helpful 👍👍
Glad to hear that
Thanks
Thank you
My pleasure!
great video i was just going to make quick sand for my hole
Sand is great for Bermuda.
Hmmm I think I can handle doing this. My first thought was exactly what you said "Fill it with dirt" lol. so my problem area is from a riding lawn mower that got stuck. i never had the dirt to fill it back at the time and now like you said the grass is growing from the lower part and my push mover just cant get to it. So I will try this method now that i know i can use top after i cut the section out. Thanks for making this video. I'm also in GA. Milledgeville area.
jurassicsushi This was was easy. You just need some fill dirt. I went to college at Georgia College.
@@TightWadDIY Oh cool. Yeah I moved here from NY to care for my mother and sister since 2006. Still caring for my sister after our mother passed in 2013, but these 2 holes in my lawn are driving me nuts.
haha.
Man thank you much my damn dog done dugged a hole so deep i can get to mexico
Sounds like it’s time for a new dog
👍
in your video you said you should have added a second bag. your final product looks good. why do you think a second bag would have been better? also, what size bag of top soil was that? thank you for the video, it was very informative. i will definitely be doing it this way.
When filling holes you want it to be slightly mounded because the loose dirt you added will settle over time. Mine was still slightly concaved and one more bag would have fixed that. It is also likely the hole will return over time as the tree stump continues to break down.
The bags are probably 25lb bags.I can’t remember.
I have a bunch of holes in my backyard because my dog loves to dig, the holes are really deep and just mostly dirt. Do I just use top soil and let it go? Or use lawn soil?
You can use fill dirt then top soil the last few inches or just top soil the whole way. It doesn’t really matter.
I have a Big backyard and it’s hilly. I want to level it out can I use this method or do you suggest something else
You probably need it graded instead.
if you use sand first then soil then replace the sod, would the hole be less likely to sink again? Based on the guess that our holes are not due to a decomposing stump...
I can’t say for sure.
How long should you wait before mowing over it with a riding mower? If you need to wait can you safely use a trimmer?
I wouldn’t wait.
Hello, I actually did this whole process 2 years ago and the hole in the lawn is coming back and maybe even deeper! Any ideas? Thank you by the way!!
You will have to do it again. It’s likely an old stump that continues to rot and decompose. You could try to dig it out.
Is sand good for leveling your whole yard
Yes!
What if u don't feel like shoveling can u still throw dirt over it with no problems like will ur grass still gorw while dirt is cover
The grass will eventually grow over it if you have a grass that creeps like Bermuda or a few others.
@TightWadDIY thanks and yes still have grass
Hi, was that repair on sod or grass?
I’m not sure what you mean. Sod is grass. It was done on a 14 year old lawn of Bermuda grass.
i filled a hole in my yard and after it rained the hole came back. do i just fill it again?
Yes. I suggest watering it in after you fill it again. It sounds like you have a larger hole that you can’t see. It will definitely settle over time.
I have a lot of dents in my yard, would this work to fill in many?
If you have a lot of small ones, I would suggest a top dressing of sand.
What happens its just a bare black hole
Huh? The grass doesn’t die if you keep it watered.
There’s another video where the guy used concrete and small stones first. yes/no?
To fill the hole? I prefer not to have concrete and rocks buried shallow in my lawn but it would work to fill the hole.
now how can i dig a deep hole in thick grass?
With a spade shovel.
I put a bag in the hole and 2 mths later it's still indented.
Did you pack it down really well? It’s likely an old stump rotting away.
Thanks
You are welcome. I’m going to be doing this again this week for my neighbor!
👍
Thanks!
