Hello,
I still have a large amount of concrete debris (medium-sized chunks) from a former wall. Since I don’t want to dispose of it, I thought that I could integrate it into the splash protection strip around the house. For the appearance and the better properties, I would then fill the top 10cm with the usual gravel. Would that work?
I would also appreciate further information about the splash protection strip. For example, is 80cm necessary or would 60cm depth be sufficient in Berlin (higher temperatures)? Should a fleece or something similar be placed at the bottom? Otherwise, I could imagine that the stones might sink into the soil over time in connection with the rain.
I also keep hearing that a studded membrane should be placed against the house. The construction company said that the current building foil would be sufficient. The construction of the basement wall is 30cm reinforced concrete, bitumen paint, 10cm insulation and the building foil, then the surrounding soil or clay soil.
