Hi everyone,
I just got home and I am shocked...
The neighbors had to retain about 60cm (24 inches) in height and now they have installed curbstones right on the property line.
Strangely, the entire concrete retaining wall is actually on our property!
Oh, and our green manure cover crop has been completely trampled, and our small garden bed has been concreted over.
What can I do?

There are so many things that are ridiculously expensive when bought commercially, but if you know someone or get creative... we have sandstone in the ground; especially houses with basements have dug up some pretty big chunks. Of course, everyone lets them be hauled away at a high cost, even though you could use them, for example, to design the garden. But no one does that nowadays with gray wire fences and robotic lawn mowers. Unfortunately.Exactly. We just got a huge pile of stones from the edge of a field (the farmer had sorted them there), and we’re now building a small wall in the garden to support an uneven edge of about 40-50cm (16-20 inches) in height between the terrace and the lawn, which exists partly due to the slope of the terrain.
In our area, there are also places where you can collect stones from the field, or you can ask local builders. For example, we had so many stones that several trailers were filled with stones from the terrace excavation. Free of charge, a win-win for everyone. There were really beautiful large sandstone blocks among them.

Of course, everyone lets it be hauled away at a high cost, even though you could use it, for example, to design your garden. Nobody does that these days with gray wire mesh fences and robotic lawn mowers. Unfortunately. No one is interested in natural stone walls or similar features.
In rural areas, you can also ask a farmer if he can transport some for you, etc., while city dwellers hire companies with their entire fleet, which instantly adds a zero to the price. That’s how it is, which brings us to the topic of regionality.
Creating something unique from what is available or affordable nearby, using a bit of imagination.

What distinguishes a Frisian wall compared to other dry stone walls? Is it the use of pebbles (so rounder stones) or something else?No, a dry stone wall is a wall where individual gaps can be planted if desired.
A Frisian wall is wider because it is planted on top, often with a hedge.
