Hello everyone,
I need your expertise. Due to the new elevation of our new build, I have to retain neighboring properties that are higher. The required retaining height would be 1-1.5 m (3.3-5 feet).
My first choice was concrete retaining walls (L-shaped blocks), but I cannot install the footings pointing towards the neighbors, as this would significantly encroach on their land.
Do you have any ideas, tips, or alternatives for me?
Best regards

Regarding the private message, feel free to use me as a relay station (~ gmx de). I think photos would be helpful; I don’t find the sketches very clear.

I will take photos tomorrow during the day, weather permitting.
In the meantime, I was trying to find out who originally developed this area. The company no longer exists.
Then I called the building authority, and they told me that they do not decide the direction in which an angle block is placed. I need to clarify this through private legal means.
There is no building obligation recorded in my land register, and none is mentioned in the notarized contract either. I will clarify this first.
Meanwhile, I am still waiting for a quote from a young, resourceful man who said he would get back to me soon.
As soon as I have resolved the formalities, I will get back to you by email as promised 😉
