The advantage of angle supports is that the slope partially supports itself by pressing on the base. Accordingly, you can make them relatively thin, e.g., 10 cm. With a wall, this base is missing. Therefore, you generally have to make the wall somewhat wider, reinforce it, and anchor it well with a foundation in the ground (variant: shuttering blocks). Or you use much larger stones that have a better width-to-height ratio (variant: ashlars). Tilting the wall against the slope also helps but is more suitable for natural stone walls or planting rings; shuttering blocks then look built crooked.

The landscaping contractor mentioned to us that he would make the foundation 1m deep and then build the wall from formwork blocks.

Our idea was to plaster and cover the wall and create a flowerbed in front of it. This way, the wall is as far as possible from the house and a few nice plants also make it more attractive.

I have seen many pictures of this on Pinterest & co.

Edit: the only problem now is that the retaining walls of the neighbors' driveway extend onto my property. Would it have been allowed/possible to build the wall directly against the existing stones? I did not ask the landscaping contractor about that.

The support side of the L stones must not be on your property. Is there a building encumbrance in the land register? Who is the owner of the driveway? Without information about the condition, no assistance can be given here.

I claim that there is no construction encumbrance in the land register and will check my documents again in this regard.

The access road belongs to the 6 houses (4 owners) in the second row. I will inform them accordingly as soon as I know exactly whether this was allowed.

It could also be that the property boundary runs along the support feet.

I had looked at that before. The stone itself lies on the driveway property, but the foot of the bracket is on our property.
