1. 0:04–0:06 Base Preparation & Compaction From Landscape Steps, Step 4: Compact Base Material

   For each excavated step area, lay down a layer of crushed stone or gravel, typically 4-6 inches (10-15 cm) deep. This layer provides a stable, well-draining foundation that helps prevent frost heave and settling. Spread the gravel evenly and then compact it thoroughly using a hand tamper for smaller areas or a plate compactor for larger projects. Repeat this process, adding material and compacting, until the base is firm, level, and meets the desired height for stone placement.
