Whether you’re paving a driveway or parking lot, putting in a walkway, building a patio, repairing a street or backfilling a trench, success starts with compacting the earth and any material you’re laying down. Compacting the ground surface helps avoid shifts caused by moisture or pressure that can result in an uneven surface. You also want to avoid over-compacting, which can compromise the strength of the soil.
To get the right foundation for your project, you’ll need the right plate compactor. Plate compactors exert force on the ground using a large plate, usually made from steel, that vibrates rapidly. The force compacts the soil and the vibration encourages the grains to move closer together, eliminating air pockets and providing tighter compaction.
Plate compactors are good for compacting granular soils such as gravel, sand, stone dust and 2A aggregates (sandy gravel). They can also be used on cobblestones and paving blocks.
