What can I use as a garden roller?
A light roller, half filled water roller or a pedestrian lawn mower roller can be used to firm top dressing and roll after seeding. Generally you would not need anything heavier unless you have an ornamental or croquet lawn. It’s best to use a lawn levelling mix of sand, topsoil and organic material to level a lawn. This is also called lawn dressing or top dressing. Lawn dressing improves drainage and also adds nutrients to the soil, enabling the grass to develop a healthy root system.
What is the difference between a lawn roller and a garden roller?
Lawn rollers, also known as garden rollers or soil rollers, are real all-rounders and can level and compact the soil and press seed into the ground.

Using a roller that’s too heavy can lead to soil compaction, which restricts airflow and can damage grass roots. Rolling the lawn on soil that’s too wet can cause the soil to crumble and create ruts, which negatively impacts the health of the lawn.Water the Lawn Lightly: For the best results, lightly water your lawn before rolling. This will soften the soil and prevent the roller from compacting the ground too much, which could harm the grass.As lawn care experts, we actually never recommend rolling a lawn, and any reputable lawn maintenance company in your area would agree.

What type of roller gives the best finish?
Dense foam rollers give the smoothest finishes. Their smooth, fibreless surfaces do a great job of distributing thin layers of paint – without leaving streaks or texture behind. However, as foam rollers aren’t suitable for rough surfaces, we’d recommend a medium pile polyester roller for exterior walls.
