Rip rap is a natural shoreline erosion barrier created from large angular stones or boulders. It is frequently used to strengthen, stabilize and protect the soil surface against erosion from constant water flow or wave action.
Stone rip rap is visually pleasing and blends into the surrounding environment. Its natural look improves the aesthetic beauty of your property and home. It offers the added benefit of increasing property value by protecting your shoreline. Therefore, the investment of putting in a rip rap will pay off if you ever decide to sell your home.
