Tech/Engineering - Construction / Civil Engineering / Paver installation
English term or phrase: compacted to within
Good morning, translators.

I'm translating an Installation Guide. I came across this sentence and I can't make sense of the phrase "to within" in this context.
The paragraph goes like this:
Once installed, set pavers in bedding material by compacting with a plate compactor. Compaction should proceed in overlapping rows such that each area is crossed at least twice by the compactor in two perpendicular directions. Note that pavements should be filled and compacted to within six feet of the laying surface at the end of each work day.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated!
