After the base material is roughly leveled, use a plate compactor to firmly compact the entire area. Pass the compactor over the surface multiple times, ensuring each pass overlaps the previous one by about half the compactor's width. This step is essential for creating a dense, stable foundation that will prevent the pavers from settling or shifting over time.
