How to fix cracks and missing rocks in rockwall retaining walls
I have rock retaining walls, some are holding up my front yard and some on the side are keeping my neighbors yards from caving down on me.
Lowes sells them also. According to the specs they are just stacked on top of each other and gravity holds them. I personally would use landscape block adhesive to tie them together. Comes in a caulk tube. Also stagger the joints to give them a more natural look and also helps in tying them together.

Absolutely masonary caulk in a gun will keep them in place forever. I did a retaining wall around my garden and used the caulk, my neighbor did the same but no caulk. In about 2 years all her bricks shifted, mine still look brand new. The most important part of laying brick is your first layer needs to be very level. Patience is a virtue.
