What happens here

After spreading the Type S mortar, use the skid steer to thoroughly mix the mortar with the soil. Then, use a plate compactor (like a Honda GX 120-powered compactor) to compact the amended soil to a dense, solid base. Ensure the soil is evenly compacted across the entire patio area. Workers are shown raking the soil to ensure an even surface before compacting.

Goal: Achieve a firm, stable soil base.
