Rip Rap Installation & Shoreline Protection
Armor your shoreline and slopes against erosion with durable, natural stone.
Waves, runoff, and fluctuating water levels steadily eat away at unprotected shorelines and slopes. Rip rap — strategically placed interlocking stone — armors these areas against erosion while blending naturally into the landscape. Grand Lake Foundation Repair Plus installs rip rap across Grand Lake and Northeast Oklahoma, with special expertise on Grand Lake waterfront properties.
We size and place stone over a properly prepared base and filter layer so it stays put through wave action and storms, protecting your land, your investment, and the water's edge for the long term.
