Lawn Rolling

Lawn rolling is the practice of using a heavy roller to flatten and smooth out the surface of a lawn. This process helps to eliminate minor bumps, improve soil contact with grass seed after overseeding, and create a more even, attractive lawn. Lawn rolling is often done in the spring when the soil is moist but not too wet, which allows the roller to be effective without compacting the soil too much. However, lawn rolling should be done sparingly, as excessive rolling can lead to soil compaction, which can inhibit root growth and reduce the lawn's ability to absorb water and nutrients. Lawn rolling is most beneficial for lawns with uneven surfaces or those that have been recently seeded or sodded.
