How well will fescue grow through compost dirt?

am wishing to level the lawn in places and this compost dirts is basically manure and have spread it over areas of the lawn , some areas fescue , the other areas are bermuda.

have also spread out fescue seed and raked it in with the composted dirt and have the sprinkler running water over it for atleast 30 minutes a day.

the thing I am worried about is the grass underneath , I am guess may not grow through the composted dirt and simply die?

Anyone with experience of this could give me some suggestions please?

Thanks for your answers!

Well, that was how I fixed my lawn was to fill the ruts in with dirt or compost. I did this in the fall…it took a while for the grass to fill in but, if the grass underneath dies the grass on the sides will fill it in, it just takes time. And now my back yard does not have deep ruts in it anymore.

You can also dig up the grass that will be underneath and then put in the compost and then lay the grass back on top of the compost. The grass will re root, this is done all the time on gold courses…when a golfer creates a divot, they simply get the grass that came up with their club and put it back in the hole they created.
