ᐅ Boundary Construction Garage – L-Shaped Concrete Blocks Under Slab – Any Experiences?

Hello community,
I have a question and hope for your expert advice.

  • See attached image
  • Our building project involves constructing a double garage along the left property boundary with the neighbor.
  • The plot needs to be leveled, so we have to install L-shaped concrete blocks on the left side, which will result in our property being higher than the neighbor’s.
  • Up to the L-shaped blocks, the soil must be replaced with crushed stone and compacted (soil replacement according to the soil report requirement).
  • Afterwards, a concrete slab for the double garage will be poured on this base.


Now my questions:
  • Is it possible, safe, and practical to build the concrete slab including the double garage on this base as described (concrete L-blocks and compacted crushed stone)?
  • We are concerned that structurally it might not hold or that the crushed stone could settle by a few millimeters, causing the slab to crack. Are these concerns justified or is the risk minimal?
  • Is this the usual practice or is it done differently in reality?
  • Do you have any additional advice for us?


Thank you very much and best regards.
I look forward to your feedback.

I have to be honest, I don’t really understand where the problem is.

As shown in your drawing, the L-brackets themselves are already positioned above the neighboring property. So they can easily slide over. The L-brackets need to be at least as deep as the neighbor’s property.
