Berm Construction Services

At John Marr Bobcat Excavation, we build functional, long-lasting berms for rural and residential properties throughout the region. Berms are an effective way to manage water flow, control erosion, add privacy, and improve the overall shape and usability of your land.

Whether your property needs drainage correction, slope stabilization, or visual screening, berms are a practical ground solution built to work with the land.

What Is a Berm?

A berm is a raised mound of soil designed to redirect water, stabilize slopes, reduce noise, or create natural separation and privacy. Berms can be shaped and sized to fit the property and are often finished with grass or vegetation for durability and appearance.

Benefits of Berms

• Drainage Control – Redirects water away from problem areas

• Erosion Prevention – Stabilizes soil on sloped or uneven ground

• Privacy & Screening – Creates natural visual barriers

• Noise Reduction – Acts as a sound buffer near roads or neighbors

• Landscape Enhancement – Adds contour and structure to flat land

Our Berm Construction Process

• Site Evaluation & Grading – Assess slope, drainage, and soil conditions

• Design & Placement – Berms shaped for function and land flow

• Material Placement – Built using quality soil and proper compaction

• Final Shaping – Finished for stability, drainage, and long-term use

Berm projects are often coordinated with grading, drainage improvements, land clearing, or erosion control to ensure the surrounding area functions properly.

We also build specialized shooting berms for private ranges and controlled-use properties.
