Default New sod higher than existing grass

I ordered 2 pallets of St Augustine and had to leave town for almost 2 weeks. Sod was installed by a landscaper and looks fine in front lawn area and not as good on sides and back. The new sod is noticeably HIGHER in seams where the edges marry up to existing lawn. It is at least 2-4 inches higher and has taken hold which is a good thing. But what can I do to marry up the higher new sod with existing lawn. Hope someone has some sort of trick. A roller should have been used or deeper cut to make it fit better but it is what it is. Any ideas to blend higher new sod with existing lawn
