Q&A – How do I get rid of a hump in my yard?

Question:
Please help me get rid of this hump in my yard! I pulled up an azalea and  now I have a hump. I want grass to grow back over it smoothly with the rest of the yard! What should I do?

Answer:
Garden Expert Tonya Ashworth says that you will probably need to get out a shovel and try to level the area as best you can. UT Extension Agent Chris Cooper says you might be able to just rake the hump out, but you could also use a rototiller.
