Good Morning everybody and Happy Monday.

I've had a spot in my front yard that has been giving me a pain in my rear end for a while now. About a month ago, my wife came home from picking our dog up from the vet. i was inside and my wife began chatting with a neighbor. At that time our dog dug a pretty good size hole in my front yard. The hole was about 3.5-4 inches deep. I did some research and I recall seeing that Bermuda could push up through this distance of sand with little issues.

I put down all purpose sand the next day and made sure the existing tops of bermuda was poking through the sand as you can see. Since then, I have had no progress in terms of filling this area. Could it be because the grass is having trouble growing through the sand with a hole this deep? I'm hand watering and I've applied a hand full of 19-5-9 to it, but with no resolve.

This is my first time doing a filling/leveling so I know i'll have to correct the issue, I'm just stumped on what to do.

Alright, good to know.

For peace of mind, bermuda runners won't have issues moving through the sand below surface right? I know bermuda grows through runners above and below ground. I'm trying to understand the right method on which process is fills in these spots for a future leveling project.
