I have built a 4 foot retaining wall (locking blocks) and was wondering what I should use for fill in behind the wall so it will be stable enough to lay pavers above. I was wondering if I could fill the area will road crush and compact (base) for the whole 4 feet or of I must use earth. Thanks ??? ???

Think about it...

Whatever you put in there must not subside, neither must it have cavities for the top layer to wash down in to.

Well I thought about it and figure road crush. Nice reply though, since I'm not a pro I figured I'd ask one. Mabye next time you come into my meat market I will look at you like you are stupid instead of answering your questions.:p
