Please say the OK finished floor ground floor from you and your parents. Is there a plan that shows both properties?
Then please also mark both houses!

please tell me the finished floor level (FFL) ground floor from you and your parents. Is there a plan showing both plots?
Maybe the picture helps. Our finished floor level is at 222.40, my parents' is at 222, although I don’t know if that is correct, because they raised the base slab by 1m afterwards.

@ ypg my garden is not that flat.
You are at a height and your parents are in the depth. You should have considered the two properties together. The problem could have been defused.
Where the trash can is, I would have planned the path. (we don’t have one because walls were already there with us and there is a public staircase. It is missing)
Where bushes/privacy screen are, I would plan it as an L and absorb the 50 cm height difference there. That’s also a nice working height.
Down at the street around 222.40 m, I would plan a shared garden with the parents. Seating area, garden dike, sandbox etc. The relationship can’t be bad and I can imagine that a large shared area makes everything seem much more spacious.
You have from the top edge of the floor slab 222.40 with terrace floor 225.2 m 2.8 m height difference + the meter (just read 3 m) from your parents, that’s 6.8 m + fall protection, heavy wall. (The ones in the picture from yesterday by me are about 3 m) Why didn’t you coordinate better there?

Not quite as flat as the model, but you won't overwhelm the parents with a wall. I would build the retaining walls in 2 levels so that the space in between can be used as a raised bed. It doesn't matter whether you plant perennials, lettuce, or strawberries.

@ ypg my garden is not that flat.
You are at a higher elevation and your parents are at a lower one. You should have considered the two properties together. The problem could have been mitigated.
Where the trash bin is, I would have planned the path. (we don't have one because we already had walls standing and there is a public staircase. It is missing)
Where the bushes/privacy screen are, I would plan it as an L shape and compensate the 50 cm height difference there. That also creates a nice working height.
At the street level around 222.40 m, I would plan a shared garden area with the parents. Seating area, garden pond, sandbox, etc. The relationship can't be bad, and I can imagine that a large shared space makes everything feel much more spacious.
You have from the top edge of the foundation wall (OKFB) 222.40 with terrace floor 225.2 m, 2.8 m height difference + the meter (I just read 3 m) from your parents, that makes 6.8 m + fall protection, a steep wall. (The ones in the picture from yesterday by me are about 3 m) Why didn't you coordinate better there?
Thank you very much for your ideas, !
We had thought about a shared garden area, but unfortunately, the building envelope of my parents turned out to be so unfavorable that this was dropped. Additionally, we wanted our seating area to be at the back and not facing the street.
Unfortunately, my parents were very, very quick in their implementations and relied on architects and general contractors who planned reasonably for them but completely ignored the combination with our property. Furthermore, they were very naive and did not realize how large the height difference would actually be in the end...

Can you tell me why you would arrange the bushes and perennials in an L-shape? Behind us there is only forest and meadow.
I had also thought about using the retaining walls as raised beds. Good idea!
Am I right in understanding that you would plan a path to my parents’ house at the highest point?
