Yard Shark Lawn Care designs and builds retaining walls for residential and commercial properties throughout Southwest Michigan. Whether you're managing erosion on a sloped lot, creating level usable space, or adding structure and definition to your landscape, we build walls that are engineered to last. We serve Berrien County and surrounding areas including Benton Harbor, St. Joseph, Stevensville, and New Buffalo.

 

Engineered Walls

​

Engineered retaining walls are built to do a specific job and do it for a long time. They're designed to resist gravity and prevent soil and water from eroding downward over time. Yard Shark builds engineered walls for raising lawn levels, supporting structures on hillsides, and managing grade changes around walkout basements and new construction sites.​

 

Every engineered wall we build starts with a proper base, includes drainage behind the wall to prevent hydrostatic pressure, uses geo-textile fabric for reinforcement, and sets a base layer of block below grade. These aren't details we cut corners on. Done right the first time, an engineered retaining wall should last decades without failing.

Garden Walls

​

Not every retaining wall needs to be engineered. Garden walls are built primarily for appearance and curb appeal, and they serve a range of practical purposes without requiring the same structural reinforcement as an engineered wall. We build garden walls for privacy barriers, flower bed and garden edging, decorative landscaping features, and anywhere you want to add definition and structure to your outdoor space.
 

We work with a variety of materials to match your property's existing aesthetic and your budget. Not sure which type of wall you need? We'll walk you through it during your free estimate.
