I used to be a landscaper, terracing would be super cool but super expensive, does it snow where you live? Because retaining walls in snow country definitely fall down more often. Best ones that survive are natural dry stack stone and you run the top grade over the wall so the water can evacuate easier, or go very engineered with geo- grid and all
