need to do this as well. My backyard has a pretty decent slope, so should I wait until after the rainy season to fill?

If you read the article by Dan Gill, first page, second post, he recommends waiting until your grass is actively growing, that is to prevent smothering of dormant grass. If the grass is actively growing, and you add 2 inches or less, the grass will grow through the sand. If you need more than 2 inches to fill the area, you can fill up to 2 inches, let the grass grow through it to fill in, then come back and add additional sand, never exceeding 2 inches per application.
