Lawn Rolling

---

It’s best to avoid heavy foot traffic or any activity on the lawn for at least 24-48 hours after rolling. This allows the lawn to settle and prevents any new uneven spots from forming. 

Yes, it’s a good idea to water your lawn lightly after rolling, especially if the soil is dry. This helps to reduce any compaction that may have occurred during the rolling process and keeps the grass hydrated, allowing it to recover more quickly. 

It’s recommended to wait about 2-3 days after rolling before mowing. This gives the soil time to settle and avoids disturbing the even surface you’ve just achieved. Always make sure your mower blades are sharp to avoid pulling or tearing grass that may be more vulnerable right after rolling. 

Yes, fertilizing after lawn rolling is a good idea. The grass may be slightly stressed after the rolling process, and a balanced, slow-release fertilizer can provide the necessary nutrients to help it recover and thrive.
