ᐅ How to Stabilize a Slope and Create an Affordable Garden Path?

Hello,
In the picture, you can see on the right the batter boards for our hillside precast garage, at the back the earth retaining wall to be constructed, and on the left the house wall, where the main entrance is located further ahead (not visible in the photo). Backfill is still needed behind the house, so something must be installed there to prevent the fill material from spilling out at the side. Additionally, the earth retaining wall needs to be supported, and a stairway leading to the garden (approximately 2.3m (7.5 feet), I estimate) must be built there.

How would you suggest solving this in an attractive (and cost-effective) way?

It would also be possible—as shown in the building application—to add fill and extend the staircase up to just before the garage entrance. This would have the advantage of avoiding steep (and therefore hazardous) height differences. However, this would reduce the space available for parking bikes, garbage bins, etc.

Adding fill and gradually sloping the surface would be feasible because an earth-retaining beam is installed inside the house at that location.

I’ll join in. I’m still planning the landscaping as well. I only have the advantage or disadvantage that the slope has already been stabilized.

I can imagine that adding fill material could get quite expensive, unless you already have some stored on the property.

Slopes are harder to maintain than flat areas, and if they are planted with shrubs or ground cover, they are more costly than grass.

Our wall will have a railing. We will probably build the stairs next year or even the year after. However, our main terrace is located at the bottom.

I assume the wall will be either stone on stone or concrete, which is the most affordable option.

We need to raise the ground behind the house anyway to prevent falling into the ditch when exiting the upper floor into the garden. The question then is whether to build up a gentle slope for the stairs or to have a steep slope with a retaining wall and fall protection, with stairs integrated into it. Unfortunately, I have no idea what costs how much :-(
However, if we choose the option with support using a wall / L-shaped stones, we need to decide within the next few weeks.

Since you will need an excavator anyway, have it done with an attachment. They can do that quickly for a small fee. A corner retaining wall plus railing will probably be more expensive in your case. In my opinion, the slope is too steep and the height too great for a planter wall.

Many thanks for your assessment! Exactly, the excavator will already be on site. In about 2 weeks, the area behind the house will be backfilled and compacted in layers.
Would you also apply material in front of this earth wall between the garage and the house and slope it off? And compact it in layers as well?
