Greetings,
I have a 1 acre property with a mature lawn. Ground has considerable clay in it. For 25+ years the flat lawn would heave and shift during freeze and thaw and come back to flat by May.
But last year winter was very deep freeze depths (6 feet plus) and the lawn developed a washboard effect that looks flat but is quite rough to mow.
I'm looking for suggestions how I could flatten the yard . . not golf course perfect . . But smoother than "highway warning strip" effect. I don't want to tear up the lawn (3/4 acre) but using a roller with water in it is likely to have little effect.
Ideas? Insights?
