What Do Lawn Rollers Do?

Lawn rollers are also known as grass rollers, sod rollers or ground rollers. They are essential tools for achieving a perfectly level yard, helping to eliminate air pockets under newly laid sod, smooth out frost heaves and mole tunnels, prepare soil for seeding or creating a striped effect in your lawn after mowing. Regular rolling can also help compact loose soil after aeration. This essential lawn care tool will help you create a more manicured, professionally maintained appearance.

Push Vs. Tow Behind Lawn Rollers

The size of your yard will determine the type of ground roller you use. For smaller yards, our push lawn rollers offer excellent maneuverability and easy storage. Larger properties benefit from tow-behind models that attach to riding mowers or garden tractors. Some push rollers can also be towed for dual convenience.

Consider the drum size and maximum filled weight based on your specific needs. Unsure what works for you? Our knowledgeable associates can help you select the right model for your lawn care routine when you shop ground rollers at your local Ace.

When Should You Use Your Lawn Roller?

To achieve the best results, use your lawn roller when the soil is slightly damp but not waterlogged. This helps prevent over-compaction while ensuring effective leveling. You should also use it when installing new sod or establishing a new seedbed, as rolling helps establish root and seed contact with the soil beneath.

Seasonal Applications for Lawn Rollers

Lawn conditions and maintenance goals change during the year, which is why our ground rollers are designed to serve different purposes at different times.

• Spring: Level out frost heaves and prepare soil for seeding.
• Summer: Maintain striped patterns and smooth any irregular growth.
• Fall: Smooth areas disturbed by summer activity and prepare for winter.
• Winter: Drain water-filled rollers before storage to prevent freezing damage.
