Pro Contractor Tip

When grading or spreading screened loam for a new lawn, lightly compact the soil using a weighted lawn roller to roughly 85% to 90% compaction before seeding. This prevents post-planting settling and washouts while still leaving enough loose surface structure for grass seed to make good soil contact.
