Hi guys,

I was hoping someone might have some suggestions I am block paving a small area of my garden instead of laying slabs however some parts of this space are not easy to get at with a plate compactor)

Is there any other type of tool I could use to compact the ground/laying course that might fit in this area a bit better?

I remember hearing of some sort of hand held tool for this purpose but haven't managed to find owt.

Any help you guys could offer would be great.

Cheers,

- Jamie
