Compaction Roller

A compaction roller, also known as a lawn roller or garden roller, is a cylindrical tool filled with water or sand to increase its weight, used for flattening and compacting soil, gravel, or asphalt. It is commonly used in landscaping to prepare a level surface for laying sod, seeding, or installing hardscape features like patios and driveways. Compaction rollers are essential for creating a smooth, even surface that helps prevent settling and ensures a stable foundation. They are available in manual push models or tow-behind versions for larger areas. Proper compaction with a roller helps achieve a professional finish and promotes the longevity of landscaped areas.
