We bought our house 2 years ago and are just now getting to work on the outside. This spring I'd like to even out my lawn. As you walk around there are little hills and small divots that have been filled with grass or weeds. Basically I'd like to get it nice and even by adding more dirt. How would I go about doing that? I do have some grass already and it's not all bad. Prob 80% of it is good so I don't really want to redo the whole thing.

Any ideas?

Hi! luqui80

You can try the suggestions here:
Lumpy Lawn? What to do about it : Articles : Yard Doctor : Briggs & Stratton YardSmarts (http://www.yardsmarts.com/yard_doctor/articles/article.asp?n_id=126)

You may find that you notice the depressions (divots) in your lawn, and then associate them with bumps nearby.
For now I would fill in those dents, and blend (taper) the fill with the surrounding lawn, and re-seed.
