any retaining wall 4" and shorter does not require engineering drawings. consider "steps" to stay below this. (this is true in the bay area, your area may be different)
i just finished my front yard landscape about a year ago. i ponied up a few bucks to get some landscape architect and plant expert to draw up a design. it was very inexpensive. $400 or so, and i got plant names and a CAD drawing.
i took it from there and DIY'd the rest. i made a few rookie mistakes, but for the most part, it looks really fantastic.
the catalyst for my job was plumbing problems too!! i had the sewer main R&R'd./ it was ugly.
