It's not so much erosion but a better looking backyard with more usable space instead of a hill. I dont plan on connecting it to the house, though it has the appearance of doing so. The space between the two is a actually so a truck can still make it down the hill for future work.

This is it completed for the time being, I ran out of rocks from the front of the house. Then proceeded to located two people via craigslist and take a large amount from both. I do feel bad for whomever is lucky enough to ever try removing this large wall because there is a LOT of rocks even as it sits.
It's worth noting three section are complete the beginning nearest to the house, then the middle of the ogee curve, and (you guessed it) the end section.
