    Excellent work!! Great drainage with pipe, mesh & gravel. How nice it'll be to have a lovely, level yard, with a wall that's never going to fall over or lean out. I commend you & your work.👍👏 You can always put fabric, soil & grass on top later. It'll be a dream to mow now.

      Why do you use concrete blocks instead of natural stone? Stone will last forever, concrete does not and natural stone looks wayyy better.

    A lot of hard work, planning and money went into this. Bravo for your careful planning and hard work!! I can totally understand why the ground is being leveled and a retaining wall is put in. TOTALLY!! But I admit to loving a yard with a sloping area that isn't flat.
    I would do it for the front "lawn" (which isn't a "yard" as it's likely what others will first see. Now if I wanted to level out the back yard, rather than a retaining yard, I'd use rocks and low maintenance alpine type plants for the wall. "IF" I was to build an actual retaining wall, surely there are other pre-made blocks to use that look more rustic like rounded stones? It's what I'd use.

    I did three, 5ft. tiers, stepping back into a bank (company didn't want to hire an engineer, so we were limited to 5ft per tier) with 3.5 feet of gravel backfill, for 180 feet of bank. The bobcat could only reach to backfill the first tier, and the trackhoe wouldn't fit into the space (and the bucket was unusably small, anyway), so I had to lug carry the gravel in 5gal buckets for all 6,300 cubic feet of gravel needed for the backfill of the upper 2 tiers. Oh, did I mention what the wall was made of? Not brick! Nope, irregular stone, that I had to sort by thickness, so that the rows were even within 0.5" across the entire length of the walls. I did the math. I carted, BY HAND, 210 tons of stone, not counting the gravel. I did the math. 60 separate 3.5-ton pallets of rock, stacked into a wall. Bobcat didn't help there, either. Boss got paid $50,000 for that job. I barely cleared $3,000. No bonus. I quit right after. Worst summer job I ever had. I'd have made almost as much serving smoothies at the mall, and there I'd have had A/C and a chance to interact with girls. Wish someone has told teenager me about predatory employers. At least I was ripped, by the end of it.

    Haven’t read all of the comments, so this may have been covered already.
    The geogrid you put in to reinforce the wall is installed in the wrong direction. Uniaxial geogrid is strongest in the direction it comes off the roll (machine direction) and weakest in the direction of the transverse bars ( cross machine direction).
    You need to roll out and cut the grid in the required length for your embedment in the reinforced zone. It’s a pain, but it is the right way to do it.
    Unless you have a biaxial grid that has testing for MSE wall applications.
