Choosing the Right Retaining Wall

Choosing the Right Retaining Wall: Concrete, Timber, or Composite?

When building a retaining wall, your choice of material impacts everything — from how long it lasts to how much time and money it demands later.

At Reliable Scapes, we guide clients through three main options: concrete, timber, and composite.

🔹 Concrete Walls

Strong and long-lasting, concrete suits high-load areas but requires heavy installation and can look industrial.

🔹 Timber Walls

Affordable and natural-looking, timber is great short-term but needs regular maintenance and won’t last as long.

🔹 Composite Walls (Our Top Pick)

At Reliable Scapes, we trust Ezzy Fit’s composite retaining wall system — lightweight, durable, and fast to install with minimal mess. Unlike timber, it won’t rot or warp, and it performs well in Brisbane’s climate.


✅ Our Recommendation:

For low-maintenance strength, clean aesthetics, and long-term performance, composite wins. It’s what we use on many of our projects — and our clients love the results.
