    Recommended brands for concrete rollers

    I am planning to buy a lawn roller next month. I’ve been researching different types of rollers and I’ve read about the many benefits of a solid concrete roller. I’ve had a good look online and they seem to be few and far between. I found a few products for sale on eBay and that was about it. Are there any brands you’d recommend I check out who still sell concrete rollers? Or are they no longer being produced?

    Need advice on incorrectly installed retaining wall and patio

    Sloped garden towards the house, landscaper excavated and built some retaining walls using breeze blocks at the boundary also act as planters. There is a void about a block width between the walls and the fence, is that wrong? Worried about soil erosion and water flowing into the gap and fallen fence. What's the correct way? Patio is built with a fall towards the house, because of previous mistakes, original plan was a channel drain between the top and bottom garden, but now it is going to where the patio meets the house, but between the channel drain and the house there will also be decorative gravel because of uneven facing of the house, I am worried about pooling water in the gravel area, what's best way to rectify? Will self leveling under the gravel work?
