Hello,
Even if this sounds contradictory - here you mostly find information from laypeople like yourself; the posts are often based on the individual’s gut feeling and therefore are often not more correct.
Rhenish greetings
That’s how it is: we all make the same mistakes - and afterwards you read in the forum how you should have done it
For example, we also didn’t measure again and just trusted it. Fortunately, everything is correct.
For the house, I measured everything again because I really thought back then that they had stolen a meter from us, but I was mistaken from memory
I have sent you pictures!
How will the embankment be greened? By you? At least you have privacy screening. Someone without an embankment has to plant a hedge, which also costs one square meter of depth
If you green the embankment nicely, the rest will follow your wishes – so I would avoid these ugly slope retainers if possible (unless they fit the house).
