Oh yes, the help of little all-rounders

The outdoor area is just as much living space as the house itself. Dining room, playroom, relaxation room.
Why is it so frowned upon to have it "turnkey" completed?

Of course, many cannot afford it.
A large part is aesthetics
Many things can be done by an amateur themselves

Still, I don't understand it

What kind of concrete beds are these? Are they sitting on a foundation?

No, no foundation, just the area compacted on the slope with the excavator, then mouse mesh and the plate edging, then the concrete elements on top. They are filled with natural materials, starting from paper, cardboard, wool, cotton, twigs, grass clippings, bark mulch up to well over half. Only in spring does the "good" compost soil go on top once everything has settled, and then planting takes place. A man in the village has started a business with these parts. He also dyes the material in four colors if someone wants that. They can also be quickly disassembled again if the location needs to be changed. The raised beds get proper base plates at the front so you can reach them from the exterior stairs on the left. I'm surprised that no criticism has come yet, even though many writers here respond very critically, sometimes even dismissively, so that some may no longer dare to post pictures.

What about Axel's house? Was it finished?

Yes, almost. Sorry for not getting in touch for so long. There was just too much to do around the house and inside it. But now we are in and feel completely comfortable.

Best regards

Axel

Wessi garden

One of these Wessis once built a top-notch privacy screen here. Guaranteed (n)evergreen and windproof thanks to high-percentage clay filling. Matching that, the trench right next to the house. Anyone who wants to go from the living room to the garden just has to be brave and able to jump well.

... my wife cried bitterly when the excavator was done. Meanwhile, most of the hills are gone again – next year it will be beautiful again.

No, no foundation, just compacting the area on the slope with the excavator, then the mouse grid and the plate edging, and then the concrete elements on top.

In town, a man has started a business with these parts. He also dyes the material in four colors if someone wants that.
They are also quickly disassemblable if the place should be changed.
The raised beds will get proper base plates in front so that you can reach them from the external stairs on the left.
I'm surprised that no criticism has come so far, even though many writers here respond very critically, sometimes even disparagingly, so that some might not even dare to post pictures anymore.

What are the parts called or the company name?
How heavy are the individual concrete parts?

I'm still considering how the slope behind the house will be designed.
It will be manual work.
Digging out is not possible, too much rock.
So terraces have to be created.

You need to find another solution, because they are certainly not suitable for slope support.
Take a look at my picture under garden wall.
In the next few days, I will post another photo showing how it looks now after a year of planting.
