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.
If you core aerate, the roller will simply compress any lumps you have
in the soil. It will not collapse the core holes enough to be a problem.
If it doesn't compress the soil, it's not doing anything.
