Compact the Gravel Base

Working the Skid Steer in the Woods! Didn't get stuck this time!
What happens here
Once the crusher run gravel has been evenly spread and graded across the path, the next crucial action is compaction. Although not explicitly detailed in the video footage, the narrator explains the importance of driving over the newly laid gravel multiple times with the heavy skid steer. This repeated pressure helps to interlock the stone particles and bind the fine rock dust, effectively packing the base down to a dense state, almost as solid as concrete. This process is vital for creating a stable, long-lasting path that can withstand traffic and weather conditions.
Goal: After spreading and leveling, the final step involves compacting the crusher run gravel by repeatedly driving heavy machinery over it, ensuring a durable and stable path surface.
