Jay-J Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 Hello.. I've been busy this summer with a flag stone patio.. Its 16 feet in diameter. I am now putting down the base stone and I was wondering if it is nessary to rent a power tamper.. or can I get away with tamping with a handheld tamper tool.? thanks..

Atlas2000 Posted July 23, 2017 Report Share Posted July 23, 2017 If you are willing to put in a lot of effort and time, use a hand held tamper. I used to do stonework and the only time we would use a hand tamper is in a small spot that was impossible to use our powered one. Lot of work to do it right. Base is the most important thing!!!

I want to make myself a flag stone patio like this. I would like to know if you were able to do the whole project yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
