ᐅ Retaining Higher-Level Neighboring Properties: L-Shaped Retaining Walls and Tips

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

@Yaso2.0 Retaining wall blocks. I took all the existing heights and created almost to-scale terrain sections in AutoCAD. Then I considered how to model/shape the terrain in the respective areas and determined the height of my L-shaped blocks accordingly. The request is currently with the supplier..., but it won’t be exactly cheap.
I also need L-shaped blocks designed for a reversed load situation because the neighboring plots are at a higher elevation, and I cannot orient the footing towards the neighbors. Otherwise, if I want to place it directly on the boundary, I would have to excavate up to 1.0 m (3.3 ft).
I have also requested them in anthracite.
I hope this helps for now 😉 🙂.

If you just want to install the L-blocks the other way around: that probably won’t work well. The blocks gain their stability mainly from the weight of the soil resting on their base. Without that, they are very easily pushed out or tipped over.
