we want to stabilize a slope. The plan is to retain it using unreinforced L-shaped concrete blocks (80 cm (31.5 inches) high). The total length is about 14 meters (46 feet). A landscaper wants around €200 (approximately $218) per meter (3.3 feet) for installation, backfilling, and shaping with soil. Material and labor together cost about €2,800 (approximately $3,050).
Is this a reasonable price?
Thank you

You know that if you have requested two other quotes from people nearby, I would suggest that. My neighbor paid 500 EUR per meter, but the sections were 2 meters (6.6 feet) high and could only be moved with heavy equipment. At 80 cm (31.5 inches), of course, it’s different, so unfortunately not comparable.

what about entering the neighbor’s property? If we want to build the wall ourselves, they must allow us access, right?
There is the so-called hammer right (right of entry).

**The basic requirement is that the neighbor who intends to carry out the construction work must notify the affected neighbor whose property he wishes to use in advance. Depending on the regional law, this notification must be made two to four weeks before the planned start of construction. If he fails to do so, he has no right to enter the neighbor’s property! The same applies if the affected property owner does not agree to the use of their property: in that case, the builder is not allowed to enter the neighbor’s land. However, the builder has the right to sue the neighbor for tolerance and thus enforce their interests.**

So it is best to ask verbally first and then send a written notice before involving the courts.
