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?

Yes. But I would leave the details and methods to the civil engineer. It is quite possible that they have soil at Müllers’ site on Kiebitzstieg that Müller wants to get rid of, and you get it... a win-win for everyone. For example, in this development area, hardly anything is hauled away because someone always needs some material.
I would also recommend compacting the slope. Otherwise, everything will settle unevenly and it will be more stable.
Pay attention to the distance. Transport costs money, and with a car trailer, it won’t be enough in your case.
I think L-shaped retaining walls are the most expensive solution.
Ask your civil engineer what options are available and what the costs are.

Talk to the groundworker first. First analyze, then consider, then take action. Weren’t you a doctor?No, soul counselor [emoji16]Yes, good idea. I’ll talk to him tomorrow. Today we didn’t have the best day together because I wanted the work to stop when it’s snowing, minus 1 degree Celsius (30°F), and very cold wind [emoji85]. So I politely asked if it wouldn’t be better to...
But in the end, I think he would have decided that himself. I hope so, anyway. Maybe I shouldn’t have said anything?! As a layperson, you don’t want to step on the professionals’ toes. But that’s off-topic now.
