A good-looking project can still fail from the bottom up.
Whether you’re preparing for pavers, a gravel area, a walkway, or other flatwork, the condition of the base matters. Loose material can continue to settle after the job is finished, leading to movement, uneven areas, and extra work later.
One important part of proper base preparation is compacting the material in manageable layers instead of expecting equipment to properly compact a deep pile from the surface alone. The right method will depend on the material, depth, moisture conditions, and the project itself.
For many aggregate and paver projects, a plate compactor can help create a more stable, uniform base before the finished surface goes down.
Need the equipment for the job without buying it? Paramore Supply Company has plate compactors available through our rental department.
