What to do first?

Hey Guys,

I've been lurking for a while and need some help. We just bought a house and th lawn needs work. Here are the issues.

Patchy areas (dirt) in the lawn

Compacted soil

Very bumpy soil, with some settled earth (mini ditches here and there)

So, I'm looking to level the yard, or rather, get rid of the bumpiness and fill in the basketball sized sinkholes.

I was thinking of aerating it first wanted to get some ideas. I'm a systematic person so I was looking for some steps. This is what I was thinking. Can you help?

1. Aerate

2. Put down topsoil/sand mixture (found the recipe on the internet)

3. Put down seed to over seed.

Does that sound ok to do? I'd like to get it done this weekend.

Thanks Everyone!
