If you are asking about rolling with toilet paper, well that question should not be answered. Rolling a yard is considered a crime,vandalism, and is punishable by fines and even jailtime. So if someone were to suggest throwing toilet paper into the trees in someones yard you should merely say no and go away, thus avoiding trouble. If this question refers to landscaping a yard with sod, well that is for someone else to answer. Rolling a lawn requires a heavy roller (usually made of metal which can be filled with water). The practice of rolling your lawn is actually a bad one. You are in fact compressing the soil which reduces the amount of air circulating around the roots of the grass, thereby suffocating the grass. If you want to level an uneven yard you should look at alternatives. Do not roll a lawn when it's wet. You will certainly squeeze all the air out of it.

It depends. The first thing you must do is figure out what type of grass you are mowing. After that you should observe the environmental conditions. If you are mowing turf type tall fescue in the Midwest during the spring you'll want to make sure your blades are sharpened and your mowing height is set to 3". Usually one would outline the perimeter of the lawn 2 or 3 times and then work back and forth from one side of the lawn to the other. Be sure to clean your mower when you're done, and don't forget to disconnect the spark plug wire when doing so.

Usually its good practice to roll a lawn when its fairly wet, such as in early spring, the soil is wet enough that it flattens out with the roller. If you do it later in the summer when the soil is hard and dry there will be little effect, it might just knock down the bigger bumps is all.

There is no reason to roll a lawn.

A roller is for compacting the surface, a roller will not level a uneven lawn.

Rollers are for Bowling greens and cricket wickets.

Rolling will not level a bad lawn.

The best time to roll a lawn is in the late spring when the ground is still moist but not completely saturated.

What might cause a lawn mower to accidentally roll over?

A steep incline will cause a lawn mower or a lawn tractor to roll over. Or having a wheel fall into a small unseen hole, such as a gopher hole or sink hole. On some models, the collapse of one or more adjustable wheels could tip it over. In any case, many lightweight riding lawn mowers will have a high center of gravity if the adult rider weighs over 175 lb (80 kg).
