WHAT IS RIPRAP?

 

Riprap, commonly referred to as rock armor, shot rock or rubble, and is rock or other material used to armor shorelines against water erosion. Riprap revetments are placed over a filter cloth and grades from the water’s edge to the property line. These rocks vary in sizes from 6 to 24 inches in diameter. By installing a Riprap Revetment you provide a strong stable shoreline free from erosion, protected from wave surges and are an affordable alternative to building a vertical seawall.

Riprap works by absorbing the impact of waves before they reach the shoreline or structure. It offers superior stability, durability, and low maintenance for waterfront protection.

Riprap of Florida will be happy to help you with preventing erosion on Lake Fronts, Dams, Spillways, Culverts Canals or Gulf Shore Properties.
