Hi All

Last October we had our large, bumpy front garden levelled and
imported a lot of good quality top soil. This was grass-seeded, and
now has a very impressive looking growth.

Trouble is, the ground is very soft to walk on. We've kept off it as
much as possible, but you would sink in an inch or two if you walked
across it.

So the question is: should we try to compact the soil by rolling it?
Or would this just kill/damage the new grass? Or will it naturally
compact and harden in time?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Will

You should have compacted it before sowing, suppose if you could roller it
or compact in someway in early spring it would probably be OK
