What is a plate compactor good for?
A plate compactor or tamper packs soil, gravel and sand into a firm base before anything is built on it.
- Gravel bases for patios, pavers and walkways
- Packing backfill in trenches and around footings
- Firming a base before a slab or shed
- Mixing concrete for the pour: a concrete mixer
- Breaking up old concrete first: a jackhammer, $36 per half-day
A plate compactor at $65 to $100 per day suits gravel driveway bases under about 400 square feet, paver patios and tight spaces. A vibratory roller covers large open areas of soil or asphalt faster but costs $150 to $500 or more per day.
