It looks like the front half of a miniature steamroller, and you get to push it around your yard, so prepare to sweat. A lawn roller is a large cylinder drum made of heavy plastic or steel used to compress and firm turf. Push rollers have a long handle and can be filled with water to reach a certain weight. Because lawn rollers can cost several hundred dollars, but only get used once a year, at most, it's often a better choice to rent.
Where to Rent
A lawn roller won't eliminate bumps or make your lawn more level, but it can help if you've just seeded your lawn. Rolling over the seed will push it into the soil and keep it from blowing away. It's also a good idea to roll your lawn after you've installed sod because it helps press the sod's roots into the soil. Home and garden and farm supply stores usually have garden equipment for rent. You can also check with landscaping companies. If you need to roll a large area, request a motorized lawn roller.
