Water-filled rollers offer adjustable weight by controlling how much water you add, making them versatile for different lawn types. They're lighter when empty, making transportation easier. Concrete rollers provide consistent, heavier weight that's ideal for sports fields and cricket pitches where precise compaction is required. For domestic use, water-filled rollers are generally more practical, while professional groundskeepers often prefer concrete rollers for specialized applications.

Our standard garden roller hire includes the roller itself, delivery to your site, collection after the hire period, and basic operating instructions. For tow-behind rollers, we provide appropriate connection hardware compatible with most lawn tractors and ATVs. Water-filled rollers come empty for easier transportation, and you'll need to fill them on-site. We also provide basic maintenance advice and a contact number for support throughout your hire period.

Yes, you can use a garden roller on sloped lawns, but special precautions are necessary. Always roll across the slope, not up and down, to prevent the roller from gaining momentum and becoming difficult to control. For steeper slopes, choose a lighter roller with good grip handles. Water-filled rollers should be partially filled to reduce weight when working on slopes. Always ensure you have secure footing and never use a roller on wet, slippery slopes.
