Tired of replacing rotted, faded or insect-infested wood? Recycled plastic landscape timbers from BestPLUS provide sustainable, environmentally-friendly, and cost-effective alternatives that look great for decades with little-to-no maintenance.

BestPLUS plastic landscape timbers made with 98% recycled plastic are perfect for building sustainable, long-lasting retaining walls for ground contact applications. Plastic lumber is as easy to work with as wood. You can use similar cutting tools (carbide tips recommended) and hardware to shape your timbers just the way you want.

This stuff is great. Used it for stairs beside my house. But I can't find it anywhere anymore. Is it still for sale?
