How to Flatten out depression in garden?
Our garden has a large depression in where a tree & stump have been removed. I presume that one has to fill it with soil, but any advice would be much appreciated.

You can fill in the depression with a type one aggregate this is great for a base it helps with drainage would make the ground hard standing before you finish off the top of the ground with soil .

Hi, yes if the area surrounding the depression is soil/lawn you can compact soil in to it to level it out, and then returf the whole area to blend it back in to the surrounding garden. Hope this helps. Chris, Green Dragon.

I would fill the hole as much as18 inches from the surface with hardcore and hammer it down, then top up with top soil.

Filling and firming soil in the depression should be sufficient.
