Landscape Berms

Landscape Berms
A landscape berm is a mound of soil that is used for planting
vegetation. These unique landscape elements can play a very important
role in adding interest and elevation to any Houston
landscaping plan. Berms that rise only a foot or two above the yard can
make the otherwise flat terrain of the Gulf Coast appear uplifted and vibrant.
Berms that feature unusual shapes can add even more definition to a yard. They
can used to create unique zones of interest, and very large berms can function
as privacy walls that shield the yard from prying eyes.
Residents
who want to get the most out of these very versatile earthworks need to contract
Houston
landscaping designers who are experienced in their construction.
While it may look simple to construct a mound that is used to grow plants,
getting the right kind of soil, and getting it to maintain its shape, takes
knowledge and experience. Landscape berms will be exposed to wind and rain on a
continual basis, so it is essential to construct them in a manner that will
retain the intended design after long exposure to the elements. If there is a
deterioration of form due to erosion, it is also wise to work with Houston
landscaping professionals at Exterior Worlds who can offer maintenance services
when necessary.
