Rip Rap

Capstone Rock - Decorative RipRap

When you’re worried about property loss due to erosion, a procedure to not only beautify your shoreline but also stabilize your current embankment would be to install Rip-Rap.

Rip–Rap is either heavy stones, cobbles, or boulders that are used on shorebanks to protect against eroding causing wave scour. With the installation of a filter cloth placed between the rip-rap and the underlying soil, soil is prevented from penetrating into or through the rip-rap.
