What does a lawn and garden roller do?

The answer to this seems obvious but in actuality there are a number of different uses for a lawn and garden roller and situations where you might use one.

Here are a few...

• You may be thinking of laying turf down and creating a new lawn so will need to flatten it out afterwards

• You may need to smooth an uneven lawn with a garden roller to make it easier to cut

• You may need to repair damage to a lawn from, for example, moles or frost

• You may want to tow a garden roller behind a ride-on lawn mower to give a pleasing and smart striped effect

• When seeding a new lawn you can use a roller to press the seeds into the earth to germinate properly
