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.
Great value exclusive: Castel Push Rear Roller Mower
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.
