In the past I have tried several different options including using clamps and other plates to fasten a pad to my compactor. ![]() ![]() This paver pad is the most inexpensive and useful option I have found available. The pad that you use for your compactor needs to be made of a hard plastic based product to transfer the vibratory impact of the compactor to the pavement surface without softening it while also being non-scuffing or leaving marks behind as the plate compactor moves over the surface. This debris may loosen during the process and could scuff the pavers when you move over it. It is important before you do this to remove any debris from the pavement surface or from your compactor that may be stuck to the bottom of the plate or settled onto the plate compactor itself. Having a pad for your plate compactor will allow you to compact the pavement surface without scuffing or damaging the surface of the pavers. To protect your pavers, you need to have some sort of protective pad or layer between your compactor and the paving surface. This proper installation of the jointing compound helps with the interlocking system that pavers provide, but when completed improperly it could mean the irreversible scuffing of pavers.
