Ok so i did a search on riprap and I could not find any. So we’re would you go to find it and is there any standard size to it? And also how how Malik’s you wanna put in or does that depend on the size and length of the dam?

Look to local quarries, some will sell larger than gravel size. They tend to use different terminology for the different sizes, but if you merely ask for 5 inch rock or 6 inch, or whatever size you need, they will be able to set it up so long as they offer that size. An alternative would be to call some excavating companies and see if they have access to creek rock. If they do, they will have a dump truck and something to load it with. You should also inquire about them placing the rock with a skid steer unless your pond slopes are too steep. Then you may have to do it by hand and bucket... Yuck, but that's how my rock got moved from a nearby creek. Rock farming is not the greatest of fun, but the results are nice.


Fish on!,

Here locally they have different sizes for rip rap, 3x5 5x8 and 8x12, all of the numbers being inches, 3x5 means rocks from 3" diameter to 5" dia, etc. hope that helps,


All the really good ideas I've ever had came to me while I was milking a cow.

From what I can tell in my area, what some may call riprap may also be referred to as: 1. Erosion Stone. 2. 6 by 9. Where the size range of the stones is anywhere from 6" to 9" generally.

If you visit a quarry though and tell them what you are intending to use it for they should be able to easily provide you with their nomenclature.
