? After killing off a lawn, would a turf cutter remove the sod so it can be rolled up or does it sometimes just break up, I sprayed off my lawn 3 weeks ago and put a scarifier through it today, one pass, I can now see how uneven it is and I’m considering removing with a turf cutter, advice would be greatly appreciated
