how can i revamp my lawn?

 
hi there.  we've had a large trampoline up in our garden for a while now
- annd its killed the grass underneath.  thing is, i dont know anything
about lawns, what type of grass seed i would need, or how to do it!!
all i can say is that id prefer a hard wearing lawn, as 4 boys will be
running all over it, along with their ride on toys!

Scrape out dead grass with a rake. Put some lawn fertiliser down, cover
with lawn soil, put some seed down (a 'durable' mix from b&Q will do)
spread evenly then cover with more lawn soil (or compost) a thin layer
that covers the seed. The gently tread in but not too much. Water each
night if you remember.


sounds like a lot but it will take about 20 minutes!

I have decided to leave any weeds and remove when the new grass is fully
established.


However, i think there has been an animal of some sort walking on the
grass and some of the roots have become exposed. I have dropped a bit of
compost on them to protect them (hopefully!). will this work or should i
have just waited to see if it continues to grow?


thanks
