Frequently Asked Questions
What is a plate compactor used for in landscaping?
A plate compactor is used to compress soil, gravel or sand to create a firm, even surface before laying pavers, turf or concrete. Compacting the ground prevents future movement or sinking, improving stability and durability. It’s an essential tool for preparing driveways, garden paths and patios where a strong foundation is needed.
Why is proper soil preparation important in landscaping?
Proper soil preparation is essential for healthy plant growth and stable construction. It involves clearing debris, grading the ground and compacting or enriching the soil to improve drainage and strength. Using equipment like excavators and compactors helps create a balanced base that supports long-term results, whether for lawns, garden beds or paved areas.
What does an auger do in landscaping?
With an auger, you can drill clean, precise holes in soil for posts, trees and plants. It replaces manual digging, saving time and effort on repetitive tasks. Augers come in different sizes to suit varying soil conditions and project needs, from small garden installations to large fencing or retaining wall jobs that require consistent depth and spacing.
