£150 then .....
A. how much will it cost to have 2 nephews Build the same wall?
B. How much will it cost to have 2 strangers build the wall?
C. How much tea will they dring at 1 mug per person per hour?

He's your nephew, if you trust him pay him a fair rate for the job,
it's not much of a job 4ft high and just under 24 ft long,
as for the retaining wall, made of block I presume, Single block will
do the job if you are not trying to hold a mountain back, set the
first course on the wet concrete making up the footings.
Remember if anything goes wrong you know where he lives, no having to
try to track down some one you don't know.
