Advice on using a rotavator and roller

Question

I have a light-duty garden rotavator which I am planning to put to use on my lawn sometime in the spring, maybe February or March, depending on what the weather is like. I’m also thinking of buying a lawn roller at some stage. Should I wait a certain period of time between using a rotavator and lawn roller in my garden? Also, should I consider using a roller before rotavating instead?

The ground may be to hard for a lite duty rotavator so clearing weed and hand digging it first may be the way , then rotavator and level with rake let settle then you can roll it but don’t compact it to much. Then you can rake again and turf or seed .

Best time for any work in the garden is when it warms up a bit. Using machinery on soaking ground will cause it to sink.
