Construct retaining wall / slope stabilization cost-effectively

google search for "beton schalungsstein Anleitung", the pdf in the third link should be interesting for you. everything is basically in there. I only have a 20m wall 1m high and mixed the concrete myself in the mixer. wouldn’t want to do it again. better to have it delivered ready-made, it’s not much more expensive.

I would still get a concrete mixer, that would be the smallest problem. You can always use one from time to time.

I had already looked at the instructions, but thank you very much for the tip anyway.

The problem with the ready-mix concrete for us would be that we would need a separate crane pump, since the truck could not get closer than 40m to the wall. Therefore, I will have no other choice but to mix it myself.

The question would be which stone thickness needs to be installed to ensure safety and whether the wall could possibly be built more cost-effectively. We do not want to just offset planting rings backward and plant them.

The question would be which stone thickness must be installed to be safe and whether the wall can possibly be built more cost-effectively. We do not want only plant rings staggered to the back and planted

It says: 30cm stones backfilled without traffic load maximum height 2.35. 25cm stones 1.80m max height

The question would be which stone thickness must be used to ensure safety and whether the wall could possibly be erected more cost-effectively.

Don't you perhaps have a structural engineer at hand whom you can easily ask something like this? It should be pretty simple / quick and hardly cost anything (if the structural engineer is "uncomplicated"). It doesn't really have to do much calculating or drawing... And then you can at least build towards "minimal material usage".

What do you always want to ask a structural engineer for? Every manufacturer has instructions, just follow them, although they really mean well with the tolerances.

But if the concrete mixer can’t reach there, how do you want to get sand in at 45m x 2m x approx. 0.25 m3, by hand? Well then, good luck.

We built about 50 meters of wall with Dad and partly on the boundary with the neighbor, it’s damn hard. But there were stages spread over the year.

For the foundation, we had concrete delivered. For filling, depending on the position on the property, we had dry concrete delivered with a 4-5 hour delay and filled the hollow blocks with it, so to speak. But it only pays off from 5m3, otherwise you pay extra.

Alternatively, you can also install gabions. They are relatively inexpensive in themselves. The filling material then determines the final price. If you can get filling material cheaply, for example your own rocky excavation from another location or good prices at the local quarry, it can become lucrative. Other advantages: shelter for many animal species. No problems with water pressure.
