What happens here

Begin by thoroughly compacting the existing gravel base layer of the parking lot. Use a heavy-duty vibratory roller to make multiple passes over the entire area. This crucial step ensures a stable foundation, preventing future settling, cracking, and potholes in the asphalt. The roller's vibrations help interlock the gravel particles for maximum density.

Goal: Create a stable and dense foundation for the asphalt
