In How to Use a Plate Compactor, house flipping brothers Dave and Rich show how to start the plate compactor and use it to compact a gravel base for pavers. • There is a small compactor tool available at hardware stores that has a one-foot square tamper and a wooden handle. This tool is not effective for a paver base. Over time the pavers will settle unevenly. • To do the job properly, rent a plate compactor machine at any tool rental store. They weigh about 200 pounds, but they are worth the effort because they will compact the gravel about 20% by thrusting a plate down onto the gravel. • The steps to creating a solid paver patio are: • 1) put down 4 to 6 inches of gravel • 2) compact the gravel using a plate compactor • 3) add an inch of sand over the gravel, screeting it to an even base • 4) add pavers on top of the sand • • You can support our channel by purchasing anything on Amazon.
