Hello,
our developer has graded the height difference to the adjacent field and also relatively wide (about 2m to the property boundary). The slope has a height of about 60cm on the left and about 100cm on the right, it is about 12m long. This continues with our row house neighbors for about 2 meters at the highest point. Our direct neighbor now wants to build his garden shed and is likely to retain the field with a few L-shaped stones in order to get as close as possible to the property boundary. I myself would also like to get rid of the slope because it takes up a lot of space and is not very nicely usable. I now had the following idea:
I build a wall out of shuttering bricks rising from left to right and relatively close to the field. This should catch the height difference well. In front of the wall, I would like to make a step as a kind of raised bed. Then there would only be little to retain, maybe I will do this with a dry stone wall, depending on what looks nice. I would then like to clad the shuttering bricks at the visible height. I thought of rhombus slats made of larch, which were also used on our house and are likely to be used by our neighbor for the garden shed as well. It would therefore fit in well visually.
The gain for me would be that I get rid of the slope and gain some bed area for the children and us for planting (a little fruit/vegetables and something nice) without losing lawn area (possibly even gaining some).
Well, I would like to put this proposal up for discussion. Do you think this approach makes sense? If not, why? Do you perhaps have other ideas?
