Run over the roller to make the soil compact and straighten the soil. Finally irrigate the entire area.
Interim sowing: Use a rake to remove debris from the existing lawn, yellow and dried grass. Ventilate the grass roots. Sprinkle grass seeds in areas with spaces or openings on the ventilated lawn.
