The Work

Stop the washout before it starts

Erosion does not fix itself, and dumped rock without prep just slides into the water. Done right, rip rap is prep first and rock second.

✓Bank shaped first graded to a stable slope before rock goes down
✓Fabric underneath so the bank stays put under the rock
✓Placed, not dumped rock set with the machine so it locks together

Questions

Straight answers

Often, yes. Work at the waterline usually involves county zoning and sometimes the DNR. We are not the permit office, but we have been through the process and can point you at the right first call.

Big enough for the water and ice it faces. A quiet pond edge and a Lake Superior-fed river bank are not the same job. We size the rock to the site, not to what is cheapest to haul.

Low water and frozen ground both make access easier, so late summer and winter are common windows. If a bank is actively failing, sooner beats seasonal.

The access plan is part of the estimate. Where the route is soft we work off mats or wait for frost, and we regrade the path on the way out.
