Hello everyone,
The title already describes my issue. Our plot needs a perimeter wall along a length of 75m (82 yards) to compensate for the slope of the land. On average, the height is around 1.2 to 1.4m (4 to 4.5 feet), with a maximum of 2.5m (8 feet) at the highest point. Terracing could be an option here to reduce the height of each individual wall.
Since the garden isn’t very large and I don’t want to lose much space due to a slope, the only solution is ultimately a wall all around. The question is: what should it be made of?
All the wall systems I found from brands like Weserwaben, EHL, Diephaus, or Kreher are concrete hollow blocks that are quite limited in maximum allowable height. Unfortunately, they are also expensive. I would prefer the opposite. I’m not willing to spend €20,000 just for the bare blocks.
With simple concrete formwork blocks and proper reinforcement, I should be able to achieve the desired height. The price for just the blocks would be about €2,500, which is a significant difference.
Does anyone have ideas, experiences, or suggestions on how to implement this? It should be affordable, durable, and visually reasonably attractive.
Thanks for your help!

Granite is actually not that rare here in the north. During the Ice Age, glaciers pushed Swedish granite here, which can be found as boulders both in the soil and in the sea. Our stones were once part of an old cemetery wall that was replaced. I was able to obtain them from the church cemetery administration. Karsten
