Excellent service! And an excellent machine! Helped me out at short notice. Wouldn’t hesitate to use again. Highly recommend!
Delivered on time, machines feel brand new, very polite staff, easy to book, will now be using this company for all my digger hires, honest review from a general builder who has had plenty of digger hires from other companies that aren’t as good as Breckland plant and tool hire
Great service from Start to finish would definitely recommend and use again
What the water filled garden roller is
Our water filled garden roller is a rugged, easy-to-use roller designed for finishing lawns, consolidating seedbeds and levelling topsoil after turfing or seeding. The drum fills with water (or sand for extra weight) so you can control compaction, and the simple steel frame makes it easy to tow behind a garden tractor or push by hand. Available now for hire from our Attleborough depot.
Jobs it’s best suited for
- Rolling newly laid turf to ensure good contact with the soil.
- Consolidating seedbeds after levelling or raking.
- Flattening topsoil and removing small air pockets prior to seeding.
- Light civil and landscaping tasks where a weighted roller is required.
Key specs & features
- Water-fill drum for adjustable weight — can be emptied for transport and storage.
- Simple tow/push frame that fits most garden tractors and ride-on mowers.
- Robust steel construction for long service life on site.
- Low maintenance — rinse out and store dry after use.
Why hire rather than buy
For most tradespeople and homeowners a roller is an occasional-use tool. Hiring from Breckland Plant Hire saves on purchase cost, servicing, storage and transport headaches — especially if you only need it for a day or two. If you’re planning a larger landscaping job, our hire option lets you match the timing exactly to your works without tying up capital. For guidance on preparing the ground and ensuring you get a professional finish, see The Professional’s Guide to Landscaping & Ground Preparation in Norfolk.
Operator & safety notes
- Always empty the roller before lifting or transporting — the filled drum is heavy and awkward to handle.
- Use correct lifting techniques and two people for handling where necessary.
- Do not exceed towing recommendations for your mower or tractor; secure hitch correctly.
- Wear gloves and sensible footwear when handling and operating the roller.
