Tamper

A tamper is a heavy, flat-bottomed tool used in landscaping to compact soil, gravel, or asphalt. It is typically a handheld tool with a long handle, allowing the user to apply downward pressure and repeatedly strike the ground to compress and level the material. Tampers are essential for preparing bases for patios, walkways, and driveways, ensuring that the surface is firm and stable before laying pavers or other materials. Proper compaction prevents settling and shifting, which can lead to uneven surfaces and structural issues. Tampers are available in various sizes and are easy to use, making them a vital tool in achieving professional-grade results in landscaping.
