Water Weight Lawn Rollers 
At least one rolling a year is necessary to 
preserve a healthy turf. This should be done 
early in the spring, as soon as the ground is 
dry, to re-firm the soil about the roots after 
it has been loosened and heaved up by the 
freezing and thawing of winter. The roller 
should weigh 150 to 300 pounds, depending 
on the texture of the soil. 
The water weight lawn roller has almost 
entirely superseded the old fashioned cast 
iron roller. By regulating the amount of 
water it can be made to weigh as desired.
