“The creek that runs along the bottom of our hay field outside Wardensville has been chewing into the bank a little more every year, taking good pasture with it after every hard rain off the ridge. We finally armored about eighty feet of the worst section with riprap this spring, twenty two tons total. The tri axle worked its way down along the field edge and dumped it in stages so we could place it by hand as it came instead of moving one giant pile. Went through two big storms since, including a full flood of the low field, and the bank held with no new bites.”

Everything You Need to Know About Riprap
Size and Grading

- Large, heavy stone
Hillside water often appears after a hard rain, especially where springs seep from shale slopes or a hollow carries runoff downhill. Riprap provides large, heavy stone for the sections of a project exposed to that moving water. It fits creek banks, drainage channels, slopes, shorelines, and other areas where bare soil can erode.
For a driveway crossing, catch the seep above the drive and carry it through a pipe before placing Riprap at the exposed discharge area. That keeps the stone at the location receiving the water instead of expecting a driveway surface to solve the drainage problem. This is useful on graded access routes and hillside drainage work across West Virginia.

Customer Reviews
County crew asked about our ditch fix
Handled a ditch that kept washing out below a culvert on a job outside Purgitsville, right where two farm roads meet. West Virginia Rock Supply got us nine tons of riprap out to the site on short notice, and the tri axle placed it right along the ditch bank where we staked it. Held through a hard spring runoff with zero washout, which the county road crew actually asked about.

Calculator ran short but it stopped the washing
A little roadside stand near Levels kept losing gravel from the ditch out front every time it stormed. Ordered what the online calculator said for riprap along the ditch, but ended up a ton short once we saw how much it would take to cover the full run. Still, once finished it stopped the washing completely.

Fixed the erosion below the spillway
Our little farm pond outside Baker started eroding right below the spillway after a couple of heavy storms last year. Riprap from West Virginia Rock Supply along the toe of the dam, about five tons, fixed it for good. The driver eased the tandem down the pond road without tearing up the grass, and it's held through a full season of runoff since.

Steep bank access, still got it done
Needed riprap for a small shoreline fix on our pond in Augusta, about three tons. The tandem couldn't get down our steep bank access, so it landed up top and we hauled it down by trailer.
