How Does Rip Rap Helps Reduce Erosion?
Rip rap is used to reinforce shorelines against water erosion by absorbing the force of waves. Without rip rap, waves can substantially impact shorelines by depositing layers of gravel, sand, and debris. Erosion is the result of waves breaking along shorelines and carrying pieces of the shoreline back out into the water. Rip rap that is placed along shorelines, rivers, stream beds, bridge foundations, near piling and on steep slopes can significantly reduce erosion.
How Long Does Rip Rap Last?
A properly maintained rip rap wall can last decades. At Wood Dock & Seawall, our professionals install stone that is natural looking, long lasting, and environmentally friendly. The rocks utilized are sized from 6 to 12 inches in diameter to ensure the eroded area is covered and the rocks remain permanently in place. A rip rap wall that is not properly maintained will have a shorter lifespan.
What are the Benefits of Rip Rap?
From protecting land from erosion to providing a natural habitat for wildlife, the benefits include:
- Helps Prevent Erosion – Rip rap absorbs waves coming in towards your property reducing erosion.
- Is Aesthetically Pleasing – Rip rap is aesthetically pleasing. The stones give your shoreline a finished look.
- Looks Natural – Rip rap arranged along the shoreline looks natural.
- Creates a Natural Habitat for Wildlife – Provides a habitat for marine life and is commonly used by oysters, crabs and fish.
- Requires Less Upkeep and Maintenance – The stones used are self-adjusting to settlement and movement.
- Repairs are Easier – If minor damage occurs, it can be repaired easily by replacing stones.
