How do I fill in a yard with no top soil?

I have a section that the top soil has washed away. Can't replace b/c it is not going to remain so is there a grass that will grow in poor soil or what can I put there to fill in thus bare section?

    We are finally getting success with a few bare patches in our yard. We have TERRIBLE rocky red clay soil under the grass, so we bought a bag of "clay breaker" product at a local nursery. Dug up some of the clay and mixed a little clay breaker in. I also added some of my organic gardening soil for good measure. Then I added EZ seed. Followed the directions on the package...we now have grass sprouting! I love that stuff!!

    You first need to get something to retain whatever you put there, without some type of edging/retainer wall everything will wash away....

    You can also put down stones or rocks in that area. The rocks should slow down the water and prevent further erosion.

  • Can you share a photo? What is causing the erosion? Obviously water, but why? Have you considered regrading the area?
