Default Proper grass height.

We're about 100 ft from a stream and uphill of it. As for soil, it
seems very orgainic, hold water very well, and weeds love it.

Wouldn't rolling the yard really compress and damage the grass roots?


the grass root is not that delicate. the grass roots can go several
inches below the soil surface. the wide surface area of the roller is not
narrow enough to ruin the soil surface area and harm the grass roots.

Rolling compresses the soil. It defeats your lawn aeration job pronto.

It's good for knocking down mole and worm hills, and maybe a few small
ruts. That's it.
