This was originally a response to a request for terrace building info
In general for construction, earthworks and other
technical information require detailed calculations, specs, design
parameters, etc. I refer to FAO, NRCS, engineering, and construction
references.
you might also consider utilizing the keyline design system for layout.
Here's a list of resources. hope it helps.
