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

These are the best possible news, right?At least, that’s how I feel 😀
I have to say that all my worries about the homeowners’ association turned out to be unfounded.
If I had approached the people from the beginning, I could have saved myself a lot of headaches.
Well, better late than never.
Update: The work to install our L-shaped concrete blocks began on Wednesday.
There is a written agreement between all owners, as previously discussed.
The costs for the L-shaped blocks, including concrete and related materials, will be around 20,000 euros.
In addition, there are costs for containers, removal, and disposal of soil and stones (so far 50 cubic meters - 1,190 euros). Two more removals at 200 euros each (net) are expected to be added.
In the end, our planned budget of 30,000 euros should hopefully be sufficient.
