Our lawns look great at this time of year — green and lush from the summer heat. But, no matter how well you care for this space, even if you’ve learnt how to make your lawn thicker, things can still appear uneven at surface level. All kinds of factors can lead to an uneven lawn, from high foot traffic, to moles underground. The result is a bumpy terrain, which doesn’t look great and can easily cause accidents. 

But, there is a method which claims to help with such issues: lawn rolling. Making the rounds with a lawn roller can help even things out. But, before you go wheeling one out, know that there are pros and cons to this technique, which means you can easily do more harm than good. To help you understand the ins and outs of rolling a lawn, we asked the experts to breakdown the impact it can have on your yard. By understanding the pros and cons, you can ultimately decide if lawn rolling is worth your time and when to do it if so.
