Terracing with retaining walls is OK if the walls are permanent. If you (opinion) build a retaining wall from pine (unless pressure treated) the wall may last 8 to 10 years at best, then become a disaster for the next person (or yourself). I would use a slope between the flat areas that was 25% flatter than the angle that the soil will form if piled up with a loader. This "angle of repose" when reduced by 25% will allow cover grass or plantings of Mertle, or other ground cover, to stay poot naturally. It will reduce the flat area some, but be much less costly and reduce maintenance. JimN
