Lawn Rolling
We use a 500 pound Towable roller for lawn rolling.
The roller does a good job of knocking down mole tunnels,
fixing minor tire ruts, and smoothing
out areas that heaved during the winter.
Results are best when there is moisture in the ground.
Lawn rolling can compact the soil to a depth of 3 inches.
Aeration is highly recommended after lawn rolling since
this compacts the lawn down.
Aeration relieves the compaction pressure.
We request that all underground sprinkler heads,
valve boxes, invisible dog fences,
and shallow wiring for landscape lighting be flagged.
Flags can be purchased at
Home Depot, Menards, and Lowes for a very low price.
We are not responsible for damage to buried
items like sprinkler lines,
sprinkler heads, valve boxes, buried utility wires
(such as for landscape lighting),
invisible dog fences, septic tanks and drain fields.
The roller does not grade lawns. It will not take high
places and fill in low spots.
It will not fix all tire ruts. The lawn roller was
meant to operate on flat Ground,
so it does not handle hills in a lawn too well.
I can pull roller up and down hills, but not Sideways on them.
