Due to poor scheduling and boneheaded decision making by the company that
installed sod in my backyard, I have 6,000 sf or so of rutted soil. The ruts
are from them moving equipment on the sod after a large rain.

The question is: What is the remedy? Sod roller and aeration? Top
dressing?

I'm fairly P.O.'d over the situation as I am planning an outdoor party in a
month or so and had planned on the yard being ready for moderate foot
traffic.

Thanks,
