Terracing is inexpensive only in comparison to the alternative -- losing the topsoil to erosion. Topsoil takes thousands of years to rebuild once lost. Terracing can be done in a matter of weeks or months, depending on the equipment available and the amount of soil and/or rock to be moved. When depending on hand labor for steep hillsides, the project can take years, if not decades.
