Hello everyone,
we are building our house on a plot with a slope towards the house (the highest point is the south side).
We and the neighbor remove earth from the north side up to a certain point, then he builds up stepwise towards the south side, whereas we want it level and continue to remove earth, only at the boundaries there will probably be a small stone wall and embankment.
Now he wants to build a natural stone wall at the boundary, which is somewhat higher than ours, and says that we have to retain it. Can that be correct? As far as I know, he has to retain it, but we are removing earth - in other words, we go deeper ourselves... Can someone explain the situation to me as if I were a child? Many thanks!
