What happens here

After the initial layer of foundation stone is spread, use a plate compactor to thoroughly compact the stone. This process densifies the material, creating a firm and stable base that will prevent settling and shifting of the new steps and walkway. Continue to add more layers of stone and compact them until the desired height and firmness are achieved for the base.

Goal: Create a dense and stable base for construction.
