Gabion walls
Google for details -
Can be great for certain applications.
They are definitely not cheap if done correctly.
You need quality and durable materials, especially the steel/wire. Rock in some areas can be very costly in the correct sizes - I had to pay through the nose for some 4"+ plus rock, but drive by an area 15 miles away where the ditches are lined with waste 4"+ material for errosion control to get rid of it. The problem is that processing, loading a nd hauling is not cheap.
