What happens here
This video provides an explanation and demonstration of why crushed stone, specifically 3/4-inch limestone (CA6), requires compaction for DIY projects like patios or foundations. It addresses the common misconception that 'rock doesn't need compaction' by showing how void spaces between uncompacted stones lead to instability and how compaction causes the stones to interlock and consolidate, creating a dense, stable base.
