We've been helping Flower Mound, TX residents for years and offer affordable price quote year-round on all your retaining wall needs. One consideration to make is on a "combination approach". A method known as "dry appearing" construction gives you the most of the stability of a mortared retaining wall while still keeping the easy-to-build foundation of a dry-stacked wall.
Build the bottom portion of the wall as you would any dry-stacked wall. When you get to the top foot or so, add mortar between stones, but keep it well back from the face of the wall so that it doesn't show.
Bed the capstones in mortar and add mortar between pieces. Because the bottom portion of the wall will shift a bit as the ground freezes and thaws, some cracks will appear in the mortar. Inspect the wall each year and patch the mortar as necessary. This is one issue we see that is quite common in suburbs like Flower Mound where the soil is harsh
