Anybody ever rent a sod cutter to remove (and/or replace) existing sod? We have a decent looking patch of grass in your backyard, but when you walk on it you can tell it wasn't properly levelled prior to installing sod (our neighbors tell us the previous owners had a dog that dug up the yard, and they basically put the sod right over it).

I figure we have three options -- (i) trying to level it out with topsoil (tried at the end of last year -- not going to happen), (ii) ripping it all out and installing new sod, or (iii) trying to pull up the existing sod, leveling it underneath (soil/loam mixture?) and then trying to put the sod back on. Can I save some money by doing #3 or will that even work? Or should I just suck it up and go with #2?
