I ordered a load or rip-rap.
This is 22 tons of rip-rap. I rented a bob-cat to truck and dump the rock into the edge of the pond. In total I think we used a little over 30 tons of rip-rap.
Maybe we did this bass-ackards... we put down garden cloth that weeds aren't SUPPOSED to grow through and then covered the apron with pea gravel. The weeds still come on up through the cloth. Some weed try to take hold in between the rip-rap. They are easily pulled out.
After dumping the rip-rap we got into the water to stack the rip-rap up. Some of it rolled 3-4 ft away from the bank.
The rock extends about 1 ft below the water line.
We did this project in one weekend... just the wife & I.
