Use L-stones for slope stabilization.

2015-10-19 12:22:07

Hello,

we are currently planning the slope stabilization and want to use L-stones.

The basement builder would do the 30m that need to be stabilized at a price of about €6,000 with L-stones (/wall panels).

Since we also want to do as much as possible ourselves otherwise, we are considering whether we can get it cheaper if we do it ourselves here.

I am now wondering where you can get such L-stones at the best price.

Does anyone have experience with this?

Thanks in advance for the answers,

Herbert

What kind of L-blocks do you need? 30m at that price sounds like significantly more than one meter in height.

Go to the building materials store and get prices - then negotiate.

I also paid about €200 per meter at a height of 1m, including all installation work, gravel foundation, concreting in, sealing the contact points with bitumen tape, and earthworks (excavating first, then refilling). You should not underestimate the effort. Without a small excavator, you have no chance; the L stones weigh quite a lot. You need a compactor for compacting the gravel; I wouldn’t haul that and the concrete (several tons combined in your case) by wheelbarrow either... You can usually buy them at the appropriate dealers who also sell other garden stuff, e.g. terrace slabs; you should check locally/the internet. You will also find prices there... But the L stone price (maybe €50-70 per meter) is only part of the material costs...

One should not underestimate the effort. Without a small excavator, you have no chance; the L stones weigh quite a lot. You need a vibrating plate compactor to compact the gravel, and I wouldn’t carry that and the concrete (together several tons in your case) with a wheelbarrow...

€200 per meter is quite steep. Our neighbors paid something around €75 per meter a few months ago for 80cm stones (complete with all work). That’s why I’m skeptical about that price.

I find it hard to believe that it was the same service, since €75 is very close to the material price for stones, gravel, concrete, etc. We also had 2 people working for more than 1 day for less distance, plus construction machines... And we obtained more than two quotes (in NRW, see profile)...
