I've been having issues with dirt flowing down this hill and into my yard, so today I'm going to clean that up with a simple timber retaining wall.

This wall is made out of 4x8s and rebar - and nothing more!

To begin, I dig a trench that will be pretty level. I want a straight across wall, not a sloped wall but that's just my preference.In that trench, I lay some plastic down and up the hill so I can keep a lot of the dirt away from my boards as much as possible. If you skip this step, eventually the dirt will just wash down onto your boards and eat them away faster.

The next step is to lay some sand, gravel, rocks or anything else that will help with drainage under the beams, as well as give you a platform to level out your boards more than clumpy dirt would.

Once complete, lay your boards down, drill holes all the way through and hammer in some long pieces of re-bar. On the ends of each board I use 3' long pieces of re-bar and in the middle, I hammer in two 1' pieces of re-bar and leave them sticking out so I can attach the next level of wood.

It's quite simple and I hope you can get some of the same results as I did with my retaining wall. This was an easy and cheap diy project and makes my backyard look like a professional landscaped it.
