ᐅ Site Planning – How to Design Outdoor Areas?

Hello everyone,

Now that our house construction is complete, I could really use some input, as we’re a bit uncertain and out of ideas.

This weekend, we will have an excavator again for a few weeks, and we plan to build a carport and a dry stone wall.

At the time, we thought we would implement it as shown on the site plan. But now, in practice, we don’t find it so appealing anymore :-(

The carport area on the north side is also supposed to serve as protection against wind and noise from the north, and a construction site container (3 x 6 m (10 x 20 ft)) is to be integrated.

On the site plan, it is shown positioned crosswise (marked as a shed), with two parking spaces in front... however, 5 m (16 ft) between the house and the carport now seem too much to us. We are now considering placing the container lengthwise, with one parking space next to it and an uncovered parking space between the house and carport... but I’m not quite sure.

The entire access to the property does not match the reality on the site plan... at the moment, we drive across the neighboring property below on a direct route to the house (and would possibly like to continue doing so—as there is a registered right of way). This would also eliminate the small path from the front door to the east...

Do you have any ideas? We cannot move closer to the northern boundary (which is also unnecessary), but we cannot shift further down (east) either. (Turning radius for agricultural “heavy-duty” traffic...)

Hmm, my wife wants something just like that. It looks really nice! I was also planning to build something similar around our basement window to hold back the approximately 70cm (28 inches) slope. But where can I get so much rubble stone?

What does "Schlichten" mean? I only know that term from machining (roughing/finishing).

Just a spontaneous thought, since I needed it in another thread earlier: quarry?

Oh, so it’s not a standard German word after all. In Bavaria, "schlichten" basically means to stack or pile up… like this:

Section 3: Stacking. Bavarian/Austrian usage; example: stacking wood

Ker, just stack them. 🙂

This is what the whole thing looks like in cross-section:

A real gem! So if you ever want to get rid of your husband, just send him to us :p
