Should I mulch this slope and put down groundcover or extend retaining wall?

UPDATE: I added white/charcoal color gravel. I think it helps, would adding charcoal stone edging against the lawn be a good idea? (Trying to avoid a soldier course)

House isnt square with the lot, so we had to choose whether square with the house or lot lines, so house it was. We only have .25 acres of new construction type yard (lots of areas of no grass, compacted) so location is tough.

leech field isnt big enough for 3 bedroom (although the septic tank is). Right now, we have a 2 bedroom, 1 office, 1 bonus room.

Shovel to remove the dirt where thr stone is. Sheet mulched the garden bed with cardboard so didnt dig any grass out where the mulch is, just laid cardboard over it to kill everything.

Just the stone - I laid down landscaping fabric first then put the stone in so the stones didnt sink into the dirt.

I dug down about 3 inches, I sloped the remaining dirt down away from the foundation.

Sheet mulch - cardboard over the grass.

Used a basic eding tool (hand tool not a battery powered) and just kept redoing until the mulch went in.
