Rent one now and don't bother compacting your soil after you get your
lawn growing. You will spend half your time compacting it and the other
half aerating it. Why do all that work?

Hi,

I am grading and sodding a large area of my lawn and am considering
buying
a
lawn roller for preparing the soil and rolling the sod. I could also
use
it
occasionally to level uneven spots in the lawn. Lowes has one for $213
and
Sears has one for about $100 cheaper. Any recommendations?

Regards,

Joe Morris

Joseph is right. Rolling lawns has gone out of fashion. I've just left the
industry after an 11 year stint. Rolling a lawn creates soil compaction and
unless you have a putting green out there you don't want to get into it.
What people do now is top dress the low areas to bring everything up to
level again.
