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.
