Crushed concrete under grass

You could rent a sod cutter and remove the sod and set it off to the side and dig up the crushed concrete and then replace what you removed with sand and then place the sod back down and then just give that area some TLC for the next week or two and you should be good to go. I recommend using sand because it you use topsoil it will just break down over time and that area will become un-level eventually.
 
@Mightyquinn... I did a sand level in early June (talk about some work on 30k square feet. I haven't tried to level the far back yet.)... I'm still trying to get my St Aug to recover from that. It didn't help that I'm fighting a horrible infestation of Virginia button weed this year and started too late trying to contain it. I cannot spray my St Aug until it cools off again in maybe October or hit it again next year with Celsius. Right now I'm just hand pulling all the VBW i can find and tossing it into the burn pit. I hate this stuff with a passion.

Thanks for all the suggestions team.
Why do you have to wait to spray Celsius? Celsius works best the hotter it is. If you spot spray it doesn't go against your maximum yearly application.
 
In the instructions they state to not spray above 90 degrees on st augustine or i'll yellow and stop growth. i can spray out back where I have bermuda but around my house is mostly st. aug.
Can you show where it says that on the label? I don't see it on mine, I might have an older label.
