Additional costs for sloped land with tree coverage

Why should the plot be leveled? The slope does not allow it and it is not necessary. You can access the garden from 2 levels. Create terraces. 1 level for eating, grilling 1 or 2 levels for playing/pool 1 level for utility garden Leave the rest as it is. The fruit trees do not need a level. Is the excavation material even suitable for filling? Clay is not really good garden soil.

Here is a height sketch of how I imagine it. I also added the cardinal directions to the other sketch.


I want to place the house "higher" because I want more light and then you have the great view of meadows and fields. In addition, where the O of the cardinal directions is, there is a kind of small forest that would lie south of the house if I positioned the house "lower." That would bring a lot of shade. To the east there is a bit of forest, to the south and west there are meadows for miles, and to the north lives the neighbor.

I still have to have the exact soil condition checked.

Cardinal directions?

Basically, I don't think that's a good idea. Why would you want a long, steep driveway? What you might save in excavation costs will be eaten up by the additional costs of the driveway and internal site development.

to get to the house and the garage. It's mainly about the location of the house in the project, less about saving excavation costs. If I build that low, then I have shade, not such a great view, and on one side a mega high retaining wall/steep slope. On the other hand, I can imagine 3 meters height much better. With 3 staggered beds on top of each other, each 1 meter high and deep.

We have about 1.2m height over 8m length at our driveway. That’s still manageable (except for a few days in winter with ice and snow) but you want 3m height. Take a set square and look at the slope. Don’t do it. Especially since the development, the driveway, will be insanely expensive.

You are higher than your neighbors to the east anyway and the one to the south is far away.

In the 1st picture You can roughly see the slope of the driveway. Wall on the left is 90 cm

In the 2nd picture Small wall 60 cm Large one 2 m higher on the left

If money doesn't matter, then build the garage as an underground garage beneath the cellar and an elevator going up. As you have drawn it, it is impractical and still expensive.
