Hello, we need topsoil for our property to raise the house a bit, as the plot is lower than the street. Does anyone have ideas where to get topsoil cheaply? It can be picked up by us ourselves. Does anyone know what costs to expect for the topsoil? It concerns 64579 Gernsheim am Rhein.

Hello swix112,

if I understand you correctly, you want to pour your floor slab on piled-up topsoil?

Yes, exactly, that is our plan. Since the plot is lower than the street, we would also be satisfied with other fill materials. But where to get them from? We would be grateful for any tips.

Then you need compressible material and not topsoil. First, have companies make you offers to see if you might perhaps be cheaper with a basement and distribute the excavation around it.

So with the basement we would be €45,000 more expensive due to the conditions on site and therefore the basement is no longer an option for us.

Hello,

I am fairly certain that the choice of fill material is not up to you. What does the soil report say? You should find recommendations for the foundation there.

Kind regards
