FAQs

How often should I aerate my lawn?

Generally, aerate your lawn once or twice a year, depending on soil conditions and usage. Lawns with heavy foot traffic may need more frequent aeration.

When is the best time to aerate my lawn?

The best time to aerate is during the growing season, typically in spring or fall. This allows the grass to recover quickly.

Do I need to water my lawn after aeration?

Yes, watering after aeration helps settle the soil and allows nutrients to reach the roots.

What type of lawn is this roller suitable for?

This roller is suitable for most established lawns, particularly those experiencing compaction or poor drainage.

Can I use this roller on a newly seeded lawn?

It's best to wait until the grass is established before using this roller on a newly seeded lawn.

How do I clean the roller?

Use a hose or brush to remove any grass clippings or debris from the spikes after each use.

What is the warranty on this product?

Warranty information is not available in the product description. Check the product packaging or contact B&Q for details.

Troubleshooting

Spikes are bending or breaking.

Reduce pressure when rolling or avoid particularly rocky or hard areas. Consider using the roller on a slightly softer lawn or soil. If spikes are bent, try to bend them back into place.

Roller is difficult to push.

Ensure the lawn is not excessively wet or dry. Apply even pressure and consider using an extension handle for more leverage.

Uneven aeration.

Roll the tool in multiple directions to ensure comprehensive coverage. Apply consistent pressure across the lawn.
