Back yard slope project

We moved into a new home my husband built for us a year ago. It was a vacant lot on a coastal canyon slope. so everything had to be planned, built and planted. Its been really fun. We live in a typical Califorinia Spanish Colonial Style home. Its new construction but we tried to add the elements of the 1920's sytle Spanish home. The back yard project started with some plantings along the house and palm, large bird of paradise and citrus trees. We have 1 large bird, 5 palms, orange, 2 bar lime, tangerine and lemon trees and a bay laurel. We extended our back yard double in size with determining where our lot ended in the canyon and built a retaining wall, filled that with dirt and built a fence. We have put mulch down over the whole area. We have started the veggeie garden area and will define that space with plants to attract butterflies (we already have tons). We want to lay pavers at one end of the yard for a sitting area and in the middle of the yard put up a pegola large enough for a dinnng table underneath. So lots of plans. This is like stage A in a mulity level project.
