How to install riprap and have a good defining line between yard and riprap. 

I love your vibrating tool, that is so cool and makes your jobs so much faster...thanks for posting

We have a mile of riverfront that we constantly do battle with the river in spring runoff. Ended up getting an excavator and dump truck to move rock around, which we have plenty of. Nice video.

Great work dale! Love watching your videos they are amazing! Keep it up!!!

I love the usage of Rip Rap! Good video!

Man u really perfected this vinyl piling.

Interesting poor man's seawall - like the idea. Good work!

hi watching here in 🇵🇭 and i love doing that kind of job tho, in that way i recommend gabion basket

It's really a great idea and looks amazing.

Clean install. i've been looking at delineation ideas, Most of the rip rap installs i see here if not going against an old wall look bad because there's no delineation, maybe it's people don't want to pay/cost thing (or more than likely they don't know to ask for ideas and the contractors don't offer it up) ... i don't know ...but it's a detail that makes a huge difference. Even just driving some posts behind, putting a beam, and capping, and any kind of a border would make a big difference. I've wondered how long the geocloth lasts in these riprap installs as i never see that mentioned, but reading the usfabrics,etc docs some of the commercial geofabric if not exposed to uv has a 50-100+ yr lifespan . But i suppose if thinking long long term maintenance (like your grandkids inheriting property or something) if it's not that long of a lifespan they can always put a new layer down then another layer of rock.. The old timber i have has filter fabric in back and it's around 30-40ish years old but the fabric i saw exposed thru the rotten bottom portions before temporarily shoring up seemed surprising solid condition , stuff must last a long time.

Dale. Just an idea. What about wrapping riprap with cyclone fencing a couple time's. It'll sit still. Better 🤷🏻‍♂️ The rock weight should keep it from floating away. Like a cage. The way some rock distributors sell and deliver rocks on pallets. Just a thought ❗ be safe 👍🏻✌️🙏🇺🇲

I wonder what would happen , if you were to put filter cloths and do like you said triple layer but then foam in the middle so basically sandwich it between 3 layers of cloth on each side then fill with foam in the middle and have ur rock put down so it adds to securing the riprap in place?? I honestly want to see what would happen

What happens if there is overflowing into the yard after putting those limestone at the bank of the river of which the waterlevel is already close to the top.

Do you have any suggestions on how to make sure the filter cloth is installed correctly? Also, what’s the best way to attach the filter cloth to the structure and not have it rip? Great video.

What did you charge for something like that? What’s the length of that wall? Great job brother

I plan on following your plan to do a poor man’s seawall with rip rap for my back yard, it looks amazing. Did you cut holes in the fabric for the posts to go through? I see the fabric is wrapped and screwed to the rear 2x6. Thank you for the video.

Dale love your work, I live on a sound with no tide change only wind raises and lowers water height. Is there an ideal pier height above the mean water height you would recommend? THANKS

Good job. I need to do the same for my property in Cape Coral Florida. Can you please do it or recommend someone? Thank you!

During heavy rain does the yellow dirt wash out into the water?

Impressive how that turned out. How long do you think it will normally last?

@6:22 are those boards bolted to the side of the pilings or are they sitting on a notched out portion of the piling and then bolted to it?

What a great idea! What weight filter cloth are you using?

Dale, do you ever get customers that want the barnacles (?) removed from the pilings ? Thanks !

how long is this wall and how many tons of rock did it take?

How to get the volume needed in boulders?

What’s the cost per linear foot? Thank you!

Hi, did you use tiebacks on this design?

You looks like Goldberg
