Hello dear forum!
Our earthworks are nearly finished, and we are currently trying to imagine how our plot will eventually look.
Unfortunately, our plot is quite sloped, descending sideways, and we’re not really sure how to design it effectively. Our initial idea was to add soil to level it out to the height of the corner on the left side (seen in the picture). However, our earthworks contractor rejected this idea, saying it’s not practical, among other reasons due to retaining walls, groundwater runoff, etc. Also, my parents live on the right side next to us, and this would mean placing a huge soil embankment in front of their property, which no one wants.
Does anyone have ideas on how we could shape our plot? We want to do a lot ourselves but don’t want to include 5000 terraces/steps/other features in the garden, as our plot is only about 520sqm (5600 sq ft).
Grateful for any advice 🙂

I already shared a site plan with the relevant markings a few posts earlier...I must have missed that. Could you please tell me the post number?Thirteen schrieb:
I find your tone very arrogant and condescending.Then go find someone who can do it better. You haven’t managed it so far, so get off your high horse. I’m out of here; I’m not putting up with this.I recommend you put all your thoughts on paper and then post them here in full. We can’t read your mind.
Hello @Thirteen
I probably had a bad day, and if you check my posts in the forum, you will see that I like to be helpful. If my posts are the reason for your absence, I am very sorry.
I am just a bit straightforward. Which not everyone may be comfortable with. In a building forum, in my opinion, that should be acceptable.
But calling me presumptuous and arrogant is neither very grateful nor kind.
I wish you much success with your ongoing house construction.

I find your tone very presumptuous and arrogant. I feel like you want to complain first rather than help. A forum is meant to exchange ideas and offer assistance. It's a pity that you apparently don’t see it that way and immediately judge instead of helping.
