I would have built more with the slope as well. The OP decided against it.
Although a lot is supposed to be done in self-help and with a somewhat more skillful layout than in the proposal, it can be really nice and even affordable.
By the way, the plot is completely flat compared to our plot.
I think we will limit ourselves to graveling and rough modeling for now, adding natural stone to slopes or slight terrain changes might still be possible later with a mini excavator. At the end, outside the plot, there is a 3m green strip that may only be used as a meadow; I would have to clarify if it might later be allowed as a mini excavator access path.
does the street not have a curb? The street must not drain onto your property at all. The neighbor definitely not.
The street (still) doesn’t have a curb, whether one will ever be installed.. I don’t know, 1-2 plots are still free :D
I’ll repeat my question.
How much does it cost you to deliver and install 1m3 of load-bearing fill material?
You need about 500 m3 with your design. That's 50 truckloads.
180 m3 less if you plan at street level
For the lower-lying house, only soil replacement (max. 100m3)
Now you can calculate yourself whether you prefer to create a channel at the street, if there is no curb.
The street itself has a longitudinal slope.
Sandbags are nonsense, that was planned wrong. You can see it in the photos. My hair stands on end when I see the leveled plots.
The frost protection gravel is coming at a friendly price, I don’t have the exact amount yet, I’m calculating 20€/ton including freight. I would have estimated 700 tons for my design, which is probably too much.
I definitely wanted to avoid the sandbags. The savings from 180 m³ less would of course be nice to have, but the channel at the street would have to be very pronounced. Unfortunately, a lot of water came down there.
