New sod/lawn - help needed

A S
4 years ago

Hi
Complete newbie here so please go easy on me : )
I am in Toronto (Canada) and recently had my lawn redone (by someone who in hindsight I wouldn't hire again) and got new Kentucky Bluegrass sod laid. It was laid 4 weeks ago and I have some issues that I need advice with:
- There's one fairly big bare patch (about 20 inches by 9 inches) and a few other smaller ones - see Pics 1 and 2. Would it be better to transplant new sod to fill these or would seeding be better ?
- The lawn doesn't seem to be level - even though the grass seems to be full, it feels bumpy and uneven underneath the grass in some areas - would using a lawn roller be helpful or would the grass eventually settle? (The guy didn't run a roller after installing the sod)
- There's already some weeds in certain sections (see Pic 3) - what should be my approach be - just pull out the weeds and add more seed ?
- There's one patch that has turned a lighter green in colour and seems to look a bit different than the rest of the lawn (see pic 4)
Finally I would appreciate any advice on what I need to do between now and winter to maintain my lawn and investment and have it survive the harsh winter.
Thanks!
