To the various conversations about rendering and such, I would put up some flags or brightly colored markers on poles that are the height and position of the proposed berm, take pictures from the perspectives that matter, and then hand-draw in the berm using those reference points. Fastest lowest-effort way to go about it. I'm doing similar things right now for a building on my lot, so that I can walk it around to my neighbors and explain to them what I'm doing, and then take the results of that to the planning department. Sometimes it's easy to forget that forty or fifty bucks in 2x4s and some spray paint is way cheaper than spending time data wrangling and fighting with technology to try to measure out the land and building in a way that's actually useful for the project at hand.
