A local landscaper just leafletted the houses in my area, promoting
lawn
rolling for $18.00, price good till May 1. Can't blame him for
promoting,
but the ground's still kind of squishy. In any case, I'm thinking of
going
for the service. In my previous house, the lawn always settled nicely
after
the winter. The new house is a different story. I moved here in
September
and the lawn was so bumpy that unless I slowed the mower to a crawl,
some of
the wheels were off the ground all the time from the bouncing.

The real question, though: Unless this same landscaper can aerate the
lawn
afterward, I won't have the rolling done (by him). In terms of
working time,
should aerating take about as long as rolling? More? Less? I'm sort
of
looking for price guidance before I call him.

The yard's completely flat, by the way.


lawn rolling is one of the biggest scams landscapers pull. Maybe
afterward you can have them buff your driveway.
