This link will teach you how to manipulate LOD terrain.

click on LOD terrain :?

I don't know why when he is selecting the verticee's he does it one at a time?? I just left click and hold it down and drag over the area I want selected, it forms a blue field and it selects a whole area. :?

You can put LOD in and Ctrl + Shift + Click a patch and texture it with a crater texture that matches the regular grass. Then just put an indentation in the ground so it matches the texture.
