ᐅ Retaining Higher-Level Neighboring Properties: L-Shaped Retaining Walls and Tips

Hello everyone,

I need your expertise. Due to the new elevation of our new build, I have to retain neighboring properties that are higher. The required retaining height would be 1-1.5 m (3.3-5 feet).

My first choice was concrete retaining walls (L-shaped blocks), but I cannot install the footings pointing towards the neighbors, as this would significantly encroach on their land.

Do you have any ideas, tips, or alternatives for me?

Best regards

Planter troughs if you have enough space.

What exactly do you want to secure? The house is usually at least 3 m (10 feet) away.

Please upload a plan or a sketch.

Is the new building already constructed?

Doesn't the neighbor have to secure their slope? Or do you have to do it towards your neighbor?

For this purpose, there are also L-shaped blocks with the footings on the opposite side. However, in my experience, these are considerably more expensive than the standard models.

Well, only if they have changed the level.

You have me surprised ;-)
