We rolled in Zoysia sod in late July (Raleigh, NC) and the sprinkler install finished the night before the Sod arrived and I didn't have a chance to roll/compact the yard. We put down a thin layer of high-quality soil from the Sod company and it looked pretty level but after a few days of watering the lawn, it became bumpy. I can stand on spots and smooth it out so I am thinking of trying a plate compactor. I did some research and it sounds like it's safe to use on grass. Assuming you agree with that, would it be bad to do it now, or best to wait till the spring? My lawn has not gone dormant yet (still very green). Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Thanks!
