going to contract it out...:(

So, I am going to contract this job out instead of doing it myself. I would love to do it myself, but just don't have the time to spend on it.

So, today I called a few places to get prices on Olde Quarry as though I would do it myself. I just have a couple of other questions before I start looking for contractors:

1) From a unilock wall blocks perspective, what is the cheapest block and what is the most expensive?

2) When I called a dealer today, they added gravel and sand to the price. I know the need for a gravel base, but where does the sand come into play? I had never heard of sand being needed for a wall.

3) The wall will be 22 feet long and they said I would need a ton of gravel. Does that sound about right? It would only be 2 feet high for 15 feet and 2 1/2 feet for the remaining 7.

Thanks for all of the advice. I know you are all busy and its great that you take time out to help homeowners.
