Berm
The privacy of this family’s property was destroyed when a developer leveled the woodland behind the lawn and built a large, brightly painted house. Creating an undulating berm roughly 6′ high and 15′ wide and planting it with a mixture of white pines, river birches, vibernum dentatum and ferns erased the view of the neighbors and reestablished the privacy of the lawn.
