What are Berms? (Hint: Large Earthen Mounds)

Berms are raised portions of land you build on your property – like a small hill. A berm is a type of landscaping structure that you can add trees, shrubs, plants or rocks to the soil – whatever elements you think will look good.  A berm is a great addition for both home owners and business property owners.

What a Landscaping Berm Adds to Your Landscape:

  • Privacy – Berms sit a bit higher than surrounding land, and can shield your property from the view of your neighbors.
  • Erosion Protection – When used on sloped land, a berm can provide a barrier to the flow of water. The berm slows the water down and can reduce the amount of erosion on your land.
  • Aesthetically Pleasing – When designed with the right combination of plants and trees, berms can serve as a focal point for your property and make it look even more beautiful.

Build a Landscape Berm with Plants

A berm with low maintenance plants is a great way to transform your landscape and add color and to the soil in your yard.  Low-maintenance plants are recommended, such as using mostly evergreen and drought tolerant plants. 

Building a berm can be backbreaking work.  It requires a lot of work to transport dirt and rocks onto your lawn to create earthen mounds.  You also have to make sure that you incorporate the proper slope for drainage purposes.  In your design, you must properly shape the berm to ensure that rainwater that falls on the berm doesn’t move towards your house (or the neighbor’s house). 

It may be possible to create a small berm on your own.  For larger projects, you’ll want to get in touch with a landscaping professional.

If you are interested in adding a berm to your landscape, we can help.  Give us a call.

WHAT OUR HAPPY CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY

Testimonials

I hired Denis and Green Mountain to do landscaping and install sprinklers at my Park Hill home in Sept. 2010. I screened 8 landscaping contractors- Denis and Green Mountain was the ONLY contractor that came on time, clean and presentable, and prepared to meet my needs. Green Mountain Landscape also had the most competitive bid!! Denis was quick to provide excellent references. I was very pleased with the quality of work. It was finished as planned, on time, and on budget. The workers were clean and tidy. Denis is a true professional! I will hire them again for my ongoing landscape needs and recommend them to my friends and neighbors!

Green Mountain did a great job on my backyard. Everything was done very professionally, timely, and with quality products. One of my neighbors already hired them to complete a project in her backyard! I will definitely hire them again next summer for the next phase of my landscaping.

We were very impressed with your customer service, communication, and knowledge. You were able to work with our current landscaping to create a beautiful, easy maintenance design within our budget. The project was finished much faster and with much less fuss than we expected. You are very easy to work with.

Denis was very professional and an expert in what he does. Unlike others, he provided an estimate quickly and gave me a good price. The work was done faster then expected and I would highly recommend this company.

… Denis was in contact with us within 24 hours. He came out to the house without us asking an assembled a bid, a far cry from phone calls asking if we wanted a bid – very proactive. Denis quickly got us on the schedule and delivered a very high quality of work. He was there personally to make sure the project went well. When we had a couple of issues for remedy, Denis promptly and happily made sure everything met our high expectations prior to asking for the balance of payment. We would highly recommend Green Mountain for irrigation system installation.

Reasonable pricing, quick to respond, fast and hard-working crew, great with nit-picking followup, and most importantly, Denis is a gentleman and a scholar. It’s like working with a good friend.
