Rip-Rap & Retaining Walls

Rip-rap is the placement of large rocks or coarse stone along the water’s edge of a bank or shoreline to accomplish erosion control.

Rip-rap blends into the landscape and has a lower installed cost than wood or steel-pile seawall construction. Properly-chosen rock can be an environmentally-friendly landscape design element.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Insects and animals can use it for habitat, although rip-rap is not a barrier to organisms moving into or out of the water.

 

 

 

Ornamental vegetation material planted in the rip-rap can hide it, providing a naturalized look along with the erosion control.

 

 

 

Rip rap can make an attractive shoreline, integrating existing trees and plants.
