I plan to install a couple of sitting block walls. My pavers will be raised about 9 inches from the surrounding grade in this particular area so the wall will be used for that and I am going to add about 18 inches for the finished sitting bench. So the whole wall height will be about 27-30 inches from the surrounding grade and the sitting bench will be 18 inches high (including cap) from the finished paver height.

What is the bedding for this? My plan is to use 3/4 clean and HPB for the pavers should I use both for the walls as well?

Thanks

Can anyone recommend a good plate compactor for paving?

So I wanted to rent one but the issue is i have no way to get it to and from my home. i don't own a flatbed or anything and these things are heavy. I thought about buying one that I can just keep. It's not ideal since it won't get used much but I don't have a lot of options.

Home Depot rents for $99/Day but doing this myself will require several days of usage over the different usage cycles and the cost will be more than buying one.

I currently own an electric one that does 1500 lbF but my concern is that won't compact enough. I read that you can use these to compact each inch of bedding and if true that's fine with me I just want to make sure that's correct and enough.

Thanks
