Exactly what I needed! You are a lifesaver. I planted some arborvitae 8-12-22 and I think I’ve over watered them. So I’m going to try to save them buy building this. Thank you!

Termites are also less attracted to cedar than other mulches. I offer that advice to customers placing mulch near their home. Maybe it does not apply as much in this situation since it's not near a structure but I always advise to use it. Good video!

[carolynneelizabeth]

Everything was great, however; I noticed you didn't do any edging or dig out a trench surrounding your birm. When the rain and snow fall, what's to prevent the mulch from sliding down all over your lawn? I really enjoyed your video in spite of that. Thank you

[aliciasy]

Thank you Gerry this is exactly what I was looking for!

Turned out nice. That dirt will allow those trees to explode with growth!

[onacres]

Looks great, I think the geo textile is definitely optional if you use enough mulch. But it came out great.

Zone 7 now! Hello Neighbor. We are in St. Louis, MO. found you because we need better longer lasting berms.

Did you layer your dirt with fill/gravel, then clay then top soil and did you tamp it down?

[MountainwoodCottages]

What is the dimension of your berm? WIdth and length?

[DeborahMcLaren]

Where’s a pic of the final project? Is it ok to do this over hard (wet) clay soil in order to plant a desert willow?

[persistentone]

Is the only purpose of the landscape cloth to suppress weed growth?

[ElHeskett]

How do you calculate soil needed for a berm since it is a slope?

[darrinlindsey]

This is not the proper way to build a berm. Landscape fabric should never be used on a berm. They should be started with excavation of 3-4" of the entire desired shape. Pile all of that material in the center of that trench. Then, use scraps and junk (broken up concrete is good. Use fill dirt to fill around the scraps. A good layer of clay soil is next. This should be at least 4" thick. Then, finish out with top soil and mulch.

[Randy-znez]

The landscape fabric is a fail. Never use that trash.
