Now Spring has sprung, there is nothing as iconic as the perfectly-striped verdant lawn.
There is only one way to achieve these stripes and that is with a lawnmower with a rear roller.
So here are two top value mowers with rear rollers that are exclusive to us and offering excellent value for money.
The Castel S48BR Push Petrol Rear-Roller Lawnmower has a 140 cc Briggs & Stratton engine which has been designed to be very easy to start.
The mower has ball bearing-mounted wheels and a steel chassis and cutting heights from 20 mm to 70 mm.
With a cutting width of 46 cm it is designed to tackle lawns around 1600 sq meters in size.
The full-width rear roller means you can cut right up to the lawn edges – there is no need to go round with a strimmer afterwards. And of course it will leave a perfectly-striped finish.
It costs £269, £90 less than the recommended retail price and has a two year warranty and free next working day delivery.
The Castel S48BSR Self-Propelled Petrol Rear-Roller Lawnmower has a similar specification but this one is self propelled.
This makes it much less tiring to use,especially as the Briggs & Stratton engine gives less vibrations and as a bonus it is also quieter and uses less fuel than many popular mowers.
It also has an anti-scalp front lawn-comb to avoid scalping uneven lawns.
It has a 55 litre grass box and handlebars which fold down so it takes less room in the garage or shed.
It costs £299, £160 less than the recommended price and has a two year warranty and free next working day delivery.
