    Your lawn is still relatively young so have faith. Once you have put down weed and feed, it will grow away strongly and you may find it looks much better. To fill dips just use compost to level the ground and firm it in. The grass will grow through it ok.

    Or as was suggested to me tother day, throw a wee taste of seed in with a loam based (John Innes) compost. Just about time yet to get it to germinate if you keep an eye on it. Depends on how hollow your hollows are.

    To fix up the lawn you need to weed and feed it which, unless you want to do lots of hard work, is going to have be a chemical solution.  Use a proprietary brand of lawn feed and weed.  I prefer to use a liquid form, rather than granules but its what you prefer.  Be careful if you're using a weeding solution where you have children and/or pets.  Ideally you should not allow both on to the lawn until its washed into the soil through action of rain or watering, so if you do it when you know its going to rain in a day or so, then that's ideal.  You also need to be careful if you put out any pets on your lawn, such as rabbits or guinea pigs - they won't be able to go out for weeks or even a month or so until all the weedkiller has flushed out of the soil and cut the grass for at least 3/4 times.  I'm sure people will say they put weed/feed on their lawns all the time and allow children/pets on it, but can't be too cautious in my view.  Just read the label to see whats in it and you'll understand.
