Timber retaining walls are not only cost effective they boast a natural aesthetic that blends seamlessly with the great outdoors.
Timber retaining wall – materials
For timber retaining walls, we recommend using treated pine, which has a life expectancy of 20 to 30 years. Your timber retaining walls will require either timber of galvanised steel uprights to ensure safety and durability. Expect galvanised steel uprights to cost more than timber uprights because they have a longer life expectancy.

Timber retaining walls – warning
You’ll find a lot of DIY articles on how to build timber retaining walls on the internet, but as always, we advise against it. A retaining wall is a specially engineered stabilising structure. If it should fail significant damage may follow so trying to cut costs could end up being costly. Remember free consultations/quotes are available.
