Rolling
Rolling
is a method of smoothing the turf-grass surface. It should be used
not to correct variations caused by improper levelling prior to seeding or
sodding, but rather to press turf-grass plants back into the soil after they
have been lifted upward, for example by vehicular traffic on an exces-
sively wet surface. In the tropical climate, rolling also may be needed as a
cultural practice for certain sports such as lawn bowling, tennis and
cricket, for which a level, firm surface is required.
