Hi Annie,
Yes, a large part of the effort was in digging into the hillside and building up a terrace upon which to level the wall (and a path adjacent to it for walking and backside access). Building up the wall and dumping in the soil seems like easy street compared to that back breaking pick work. There's 70% river-rock in the hillside; the rest is sand and worm droppings/compost.
Have a great season.
