Hello experts!
We have the following problem to solve and would greatly appreciate your helpful comments on this topic:
1. Our neighbor’s house is 13cm (5 inches) higher than ours.
2. The distance between the end of our terrace and the neighbor’s house wall is 6.3m (21 feet), consisting of 4.3m (14 feet) on our garden and 2.0m (6.5 feet) on the neighbor’s garden.
3. We are wondering how to best address this height difference?
3.1 Using retaining walls (L-shaped concrete blocks) on the neighbor’s property
3.2 By “grading adjustment” as suggested by the neighbor’s landscaper
3.3 Or other options?
THANK YOU and best regards!

Your neighbor should create infiltration options along the path of water flowing to your property: either by providing a permeable surface over a broad area, installing a drainage barrier before the boundary, or any combination of these methods. Many here would envy you for having only a question and not a problem ;-)

However, this 17cm (7 inches) is measured upwards from us and not as a downward slope.
And that’s not really correct, is it?Yes, of course it would be better if the water didn’t run towards you. On the other hand, it wouldn’t be a big problem if the lowest point is at the end of your terrace. In the Munich area, the soil tends to drain quite well. I would therefore focus on what you want. Given the short distance, I would try to avoid always seeing the neighbor directly. For example, a hedge on a 30cm (12 inches) high mound would also help hold back water on their side.

An earth embankment is definitely a solid solution, I agree with you. Plus, a nicely planted front strip looks a bit like our raised garden bed.
The strip probably isn’t very important to the neighbor anyway, since their garden is huge on the other side of the house.
Why does nobody like L-shaped concrete blocks?

What is the neighbor planning regarding the enclosure?
