Everything You Need to Know About RipRap
Size and Grading
- Size
- 4 inches to 12 inches and up

- Large, heavy stone
At a Minnesota lake lot, the ground beside a shoreline or culvert can need protection before spring melt sends water across it. RipRap provides heavy stone for exposed banks, slopes, drainage channels, and outlet areas where flowing water can remove soil. It is also appropriate along shorelines that need an armored surface.
Clay soils, standing water, and deep frost make drainage planning important around cabin roads and lakeside ground near the North Shore, the St. Croix River, or the Minnesota River Valley. Use RipRap where water reaches bare ground, such as the outlet of a drainage route or the edge of a bank. It should cover the surface exposed to moving water rather than serve as the general base for a driveway. That placement keeps the erosion protection at the area most likely to see concentrated runoff.
