Do your zoning laws permit a 35 foot high wall ?

Monolith! Could be a religious exemption.

OP, you mean using concrete blocks right?

Figure the price for how many blocks that would be at about $4 delivered each. Then add about 300-400% to the previous total price.
So if the blocks came up to about $600 delivered, then say $1800 to $2400 added to that, so $2400 to $3000 would be a good estimate.

If you can find a mason to put up a 35 foot long, 3 foot high retaining wall for $3,000, I've got another wall I'll sell you.

I would guess at least 20-40K. We got quotes for $20K for a small wall and it was insane.

I second this. Higher end or more if you want it to look quaint

Exactly. Is is purely decorative or structural (as in, holding up dirt that matters).

You need an engineer to determine what you are retaining and what would be required in order to retain that.

I got a quote a few years ago for about 35k, will likely be higher now.

Retaining walls are much more expensive than I realized. Especially if the slope is significant or its difficult to access and bringequipment in

Our quote was so high for a retaining wall that was about 50' x 2' that DH ended up building it himself.

The clue is in the word “retaining.”

Code is 20 ft long, 2 feet high, no permit or engineer required.
