Ruts in lawn

Post by Adam_M » May 17th, 2019, 3:41 pm

I had a shed delivered and the mule (shed forklift basically), along with the wheels on the shed left some shallow ruts. In hindsight, drier would have been better, but I'm out of storage space. What's the best way to deal with them? The turf isn't broken, just depressed. The worst of the ruts are maybe 8-10 inches wide and 2-ish inches deep.
Thanks!

I think the remember Andy advising another user to use a pitchfork or a similar tool. Stick it in the ground near the depressions and lift the soil up to level it out. You may have to do it a few times. That is where I would start.
