Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Bagged concrete as bank stabilization?

We have used 60 pound bags of Quikrete to seal outside the ends of culverts placed in ditches and to line erosion prone areas of ditches for several years now. Our regular fence contracter has some spots on his family farm where such bags have been in place for 20 years. Others hear at PB have used the bags for the "floor" of spillways successfully.

We have done all our culvert work in late Fall/early Winter, and just place the dry Quikrete bags where needed and let nature wet them down. That has worked well for us.

One negative: if you are prone to getting a hernia, handling 3-6 pallets of Quikrete bags will let you know. Get young helpers.
