Probably 6' at the tallest point and it would taper down to 3' or around there to go with the contours of the lot.
My wife is going to want concrete or maybe a brick type facade to keep it pretty for future landscaping I imagine.

I used Concrete 70502 out of Carencro for some structural concrete retaining walls. (Poured concrete with rebar)
They do very good work but it’s not cheap for that type of wall
Might be overkill for what you are needing
If going wood, I’d recommend checking with Monster Timbers out of Opelousas for materials . LINK
They supply heavy duty pressure treated lumber used on bulkheads and underwater conditions . Their wood has 4x the CCA compared to yellow wood and other standard pressure treated wood. They ship all over the country
They might have some contacts that do that type of work that they could recommend

Below is a link to what I used. The Compact Straight Series II Block. 80' of wall 6' tall with a 7' radius semicircle step out the front cost around $6,000 in blocks. Probably spent a total of $20K on the wall including equipment rentals, soil, rocks, drainage, etc. On the drainage, don't use black corrugated pipe. Use Minimum of 4" perforated drain pipe.
