What is Shot Rock?
Shot rock is a rock formation placed along areas that are in constant contact with water. Also known as rip rap, it is a common erosion control method in Florida. In fact, shot rock has increased in popularity due to its natural beauty, and protective properties. While rocks can vary in size, our stones range from 6 to 12 inches. This ensures the rocks stay permanently in place.
Is Shot Rock Easy to Maintain?
Shot Rock is extremely easy to maintain. The stones used are self-adjusting to settlement and movement. This means that your wall will remain intact for many years. However, shot rock can become damaged when confronted with strong storms or hurricanes. If that happens, it is important to have your wall inspected and repaired if needed.
Reduce Shoreline Erosion
As previously stated, shot rock is a great way to reduce erosion. Safe, and environmentally friendly, it is often used in the following areas:
- Shorelines
- Stream-beds
- Bridge Foundations
- Pilings
- Steep Slopes
- And other Shoreline Structures
What are the Benefits of Shot Rock?

Secondly, it is aesthetically pleasing. In fact, it is natural looking.
Creates a Natural Habitat for Wildlife
