Hello,
I want to stabilize the slope on my property (27m long) to create a usable, additional level.
My current plan is to stabilize only about 10m of it, since that area is the most important to have level.
This would give me a nice flat area about 4.1m long (13.5 feet).
I am looking for the most cost-effective solution for a steep embankment.
See the picture:
Someone told me that using old tires is the cheapest option and then planting ground cover on top.
But somehow I find that a bit odd.
What do you think?
Thanks!

People have ideas. Usually, at worst, only property damage occurs.
Using tires is basically possible. However, you don’t just stack them; each tire must be anchored in the backfill.
This means you first have to excavate the slope 3–5 meters deep (10–16 feet) and then build it up in layers.
Your rough estimate of 1000€ plus labor doesn’t really support that.
The tires are free, but this involves approximately 5 x 5 x 10 = 250 square meters (2700 square feet) of soil reinforcement. That puts you between 10,000 and 20,000€.

And at that height, wouldn’t you still need drained concrete, or can these blocks now be stacked that high with just gravel?
Structural engineering is essential. It will determine the required amount of steel and concrete.
Does the building permit / planning permission allow changes to the terrain?
I would never use car tires. They contain toxic substances that should not be released into the environment.
