| Cormac C135R Plate Compactor |
A plate compactor is a construction machine used to compress soil and different types of gravel or stone. There is a heavy steel plate on the bottom of the machine and acts like a push-style mower. The compactor vibrates the earth leveling out the ground.
Building patios and sidewalks in the hardscaping area
of landscaping requires a plate compactor to level out the ground.
Plate compactors are very useful when building a flagstone
patio because the soil at the base has to be flattened before putting the
crushed stone down. After, you’ll have to level out the crushed stone with the
plate compactor before putting down the pea gravel. Pitching away from the
house is very important when building a flagstone patio. You don’t want there
to be any puddles or running water to the house when it rains.
The pea gravel is used to spread underneath the flagstone pieces you lay down for the patio. The plate compactor is used twice and sometimes more when adjusting the soil and crushed stone.
