Mosaic Paver Walkway
Design a winding garden path with colorful mosaic pavers or reclaimed brick. Use the SDS-Max tamper plate to compact the sub-base (crushed stone) and the bedding layer (stone dust/sand) in tight curves and edges where a plate compactor won’t fit. After laying the pavers, gently tamp to seat them flush and stable.
Rammed-Earth Planter Boxes
Build timber forms and compact moistened soil in thin lifts to create sturdy rammed-earth planter walls. The tamper plate on a rotary/demolition hammer delivers uniform compaction, giving a beautiful layered look and durable structure for modern, eco-style planters.
Backyard Bocce/Petanque Court
Create a 10x60 ft court using compacted layers of crushed stone and decomposed granite. The tamper plate excels at edge-to-edge consistency and tight corners around borders, ensuring a firm, level playing surface without needing to maneuver a bulky plate compactor.
Zen Garden Stepping Pads
Set large stepping stones over a compacted base within a raked gravel Zen garden. Use the tamper plate to firm the base beneath each stone and to stabilize gravel in high-traffic zones while preserving the clean, minimalist aesthetic.
Gravel Pad for Shed or Greenhouse
Prepare a stable, drainable foundation by compacting multiple lifts of crushed stone and a top layer of stone dust. The tamper plate provides precise compaction around perimeter timbers, anchors, and corners to keep small structures square and settled.
