Feel the berm

Berms are a great way to add height to your landscape. They can also help with drainage and provide a subtle sense of privacy.

A berm can be built using sand, soil, plant debris or rubble. It is important to use the appropriate material for your berm.

The top of the berm should slope away from the center of the earthwork. This makes it look more natural.

To build your berm, excavate the area and then fill it with the desired material. Depending on the amount of fill, you can pack it with soil and then firmly tamp it down to create your desired shape.
