What happens here

A new Tomahawk plate compactor is introduced and used for 'flat top packing'. This process involves using the plate compactor to eliminate any remaining indentations or 'divots' left by the larger sheep's foot compactor. Flat top packing creates a perfectly smooth and uniformly dense surface, essential for preventing uneven settlement of the patio pavers over time.

Goal: Create a smooth and uniformly dense surface for the patio base.

any other year in our company history all right blaine's going to grab him block while he's gone and do a little bit of prep work um we got a new packer look at that brand new hasn't been used yet kind of excited to try that thing out i was a bit hesitant to buy this because i ordered it online and i've never done that before but i used a company called tomahawk power and i think they did a really good job delivered it right to the door and it's actually a better unit than what i anticipated it was going to be we flat top packet and what flat top packing means is we're eliminating the divot the divots from the sheep's foot packer although the sheep foot packer you've seen running earlier has already done all of the compaction we need on this project we need to seal up the divots so that we don't have any uneven settlement years down the road and that's where this little baby comes in handy
