What happens here

To address erosion and improve drainage along areas like driveways or buildings, create a rock-lined channel, known as riprap. Place large, irregular-shaped rocks (riprap) along the edges of areas prone to washing, such as the side of a driveway or around a building's foundation. This practice helps stabilize the soil, prevents further erosion, and guides water flow effectively. The riprap makes these areas easy to maintain and improves the overall aesthetic of the farm.

Goal: Stabilize soil and prevent erosion in high-flow water areas.
