Designing a garden on a slope sensibly

I have drawn the contour lines every 0.5 m as I suspect them. Please confirm.

Please draw your terrace and other wishes into the sketch. If there are regulations for terracing/terrain modeling, I should know them as well. How exactly is the terrain model described in the submission plan? Or is it a cutout? A floor plan of the ground floor, possibly also of your parents’ house, is mandatory.

By the way, the slopes or SM hardly take away the light from the parents; if anything, it is the unnecessarily tall house. Being considerate towards the parents would have meant building without a basement as well. Especially since your house is probably located southwest of your parents’.

Moreover, unfortunately, they were very naive and did not realize how big the altitude difference actually is in the end...

But you are the one who caused the altitude difference.

Maybe the picture helps. Our finished floor level (OK Fertigfußboden) is at 222.40, my parents’ is at 222, although I don’t know if that is correct because they raised the floor slab by 1 meter afterwards.

No, I don’t need the finished level of the garage/cellar, that is shown in the plan. I need the one from the ground floor (EG). Please no rough numbers. Please provide correct information.

I once drew in the contour lines every 0.5 m as I assume them. Please confirm.

We wanted to build with a basement from the start, my parents did not. How do you come to an agreement there? I wouldn’t call that inconsiderate. In retrospect, they would have preferred the basement as well because they couldn’t imagine beforehand how big the difference is; now it’s too late.

We have no regulations regarding terrain modeling, but terracing must be done; this refers to legal requirements for the basement.

Ground floor is 225.47

You have a natural height of 225.7 m +/- at the top corner - that lies above your terrace. I would have buffered that with plants and a small step. At the same time, it would still block the view of your terrace if a dirt road is built there. However, if that path comes, you could also use it as access to your property (maybe). No, I would have planned the transition to your parents at the bottom. There is the possibility of creating a natural privacy screen to the street with hedges. At the top, I would have left only a strip of natural terrain. Once so the lawn mower does not have to be carried over steps and to save a wall on the side to your parents. Whether that works, no idea, I am not an earthmover.

That is classic general contractor planning. Simply create a building area without looking left, right, or down. The landscaper can take care of the surroundings later. And so the new buildings stand everywhere on their small L-shaped stone mounds. I would find a landscaper promptly so that they can still shape the terrain. Doing it independently will hardly succeed given the many requirements.
