A lawn roller is commonly used when seeding a new lawn. Prior to laying seed, use the roller to flatten the ground and smooth our areas. After seeding, use a light, empty roller to set the seed in place. A lawn roller will also assist with laying a new sod lawn. First use the roller to flatten the ground prior to laying sod and then lightly roll the newly laid sod to eliminate air pockets and promote root implantation. Too heavy a rolling will damage new sod. Rolling an established lawn prior to mowing will help with getting an even cut with a lawnmower.
Lawn rollers work to create a flat, even surface for laying a new seed or sod lawn which is preferred by most people. Lightly rolling sod that is starting to take root into the ground will encourage the roots to grow deeper into the dirt underneath. Using the lawn roller after mowing will produce the stripes seen on professional baseball fields and the illusion of a well maintained lawn.
