Berm Design & Installation

Controlling Water Flow with Expert Berm Solutions

At Atlantis Drainage Solutions, we specialize in berm design and installation to effectively manage water runoff and protect properties from drainage issues. Berms are raised landscape features that help divert or retain water, preventing soil erosion, foundation damage, and landscape flooding. With over 30 years of experience, we create customized berm solutions tailored to your property's unique drainage needs.

What is a Berm

A berm is an elongated, raised mound of soil strategically placed to redirect or absorb water. Unlike swales, which channel water, berms act as natural barriers, slowing down runoff and protecting vulnerable areas. Properly designed berms not only enhance drainage but also contribute to landscape aesthetics, creating natural contours and windbreaks.

Benefits of berm installation:

  • Prevents Water Damage – Redirects excess runoff away from foundations and basements.

  • Reduces Soil Erosion – Stabilizes loose soil and minimizes landscape degradation.

  • Enhances Landscape Design – Adds depth, texture, and greenery to outdoor spaces.

  • Improves Water Retention – Helps retain moisture in designated areas, benefiting plant growth.

Our Berm Installation Process

  • Site Evaluation – We assess your property’s drainage patterns and identify areas prone to excess water accumulation.

  • Custom Berm Design – We develop a berm layout that efficiently redirects water while complementing your landscape.

  • Excavation & Soil Placement – We use high-quality soil and compact it properly to ensure structural stability.

  • Grading & Sloping – We shape the berm to optimize water flow control and prevent soil displacement.

  • Erosion Control & Vegetation – We reinforce the berm with grass, mulch, or native plants to enhance stability and aesthetics.
