Lawn repair from hell. Recently had to get my waste plumbing redone. Required them to dig the old pipe out, 9 feet deep, and replace it with a new one. They dug everything up and replaced it as smooth as possible. What do I do to fix this. I hear that I should keep the soil wet and it will settle faster. There seems to be a lot of rocks that have been come to the surface. Should I hand pick these. Also I wanted to aerate the lawn before this nightmare happened. Should I still think about doing that? And then seed the affected area??? Help. Originally by u/BluebirdTraining1738 on Reddit: https://tinyurl.com/2ahghcpe
