Hello dear forum,

I am new here and have a question for you! We are currently building a house and the slab is in place.

We have a slight slope and therefore an earth wall on one side of the property. Of course, later on a wall will be built there for reinforcement. But now I am worried because the earth is breaking off. Is that normal?? The wall is about 1.4 meters high and 15 meters wide.

Can you build such a wall yourself or should you rather leave it to someone? It is not a retaining wall.

Best regards,
Silent

What worries you? I see nothing dangerous.

That more and more breaks off when it rains. We wanted to do the wall in 2020 first. The house is coming first and then the wall. So does everything look okay to you? Do I not have to worry that more and more will come?

Until 2020 is too long. For the construction phase it's fine. Otherwise, get cheap concrete plant rings at Obi or something and secure the slope with them. See picture.

Of course the "wall" will keep crumbling until eventually the slope angle is so shallow that nothing slides down anymore. Brace yourselves for a lot of earth, that's normal (even though it will drive you crazy and in the end it will cost money again in 2020 to restore everything to normal). What do you want to use as support against it? L-shaped blocks?

L stones are just not that nice. We wanted block stones, natural stones, or gabions. We still have no idea what that costs. Approximately. We need to get some quotes. Any recommendations? :)
