Timber retaining walls remain popular for budget-conscious homeowners. Treated pine ($150–$250/m²) and hardwood ($200–$350/m²) are the main options.
Perth Considerations
Termite risk is significant across Perth. Annual inspections are essential. Perth’s heat accelerates timber deterioration. Consider concrete sleepers as a termite-proof alternative.
