Timber walls are not a forever item

What happens here

Based on the comprehensive assessment, plan for the complete removal of the failing timber wall and consider more durable and stable replacement options. The narrator explicitly states, 'we're talking about getting rid of all of this and doing some sort of block retaining wall, whether that's like an outcropping, natural type of stone.' These suggested materials, such as interlocking concrete blocks or natural stone outcroppings, offer superior longevity, stability, and resistance to environmental factors compared to timber, especially when installed with proper drainage and engineering principles.

Goal: Determine suitable and long-lasting materials for a new retaining wall.
