How to stabilize a slope with aggregate base?

[Simon Tullberg]

Hello.

We have a driveway right next to our neighbor's driveway. When the neighbor constructed their driveway, they raised the sub-base by about 50 cm and did not build a retaining wall. So now we have a slope made of sub-base that is about 50 cm wide and 10-50 cm high towards our driveway. When we lay paving stones on our driveway, their sub-base will run down onto our driveway as the slope is quite steep.

Does anyone have suggestions/tips on what can be done on such a slope to prevent stones and other materials from sliding onto our driveway now that the paving stones have already been laid?

If you finish your paving with 1-2 courses of wall blocks, you should probably reduce the slope enough. No special extra work at depth is needed for such a small wall.

Or go "all-in" and cast a low wall with recessed lighting, it can look really nice but costs a bit more...

Yes, the idea is to solve this as cheaply as possible. Since paving stones are already next to the slope, we would like to avoid having to dig anything up.

In the other thread, I ask who is legally responsible for solving the problem. In this thread, I am trying to find out how one can practically solve the problem.

The cheapest option is probably to stabilize the slope with vegetation. For example, spread nutrient-rich soil and sow grass, clover, etc. A coconut net makes it easier but is not required (and costs money). Planting certain ground-covering perennials is an alternative to grass/clover but requires access to perennials to divide from your social network, or they can be purchased for a few thousand kronor. If you want to discuss species/varieties, just let me know.

The sowing or planting can be done now in August, and with proper watering, the erosion problem can be solved before winter.

For example, lay out fertile soil and sow grass, clover, etc. A coconut net makes it easier but is not a requirement (and costs money).

Thanks for the tips!
