Hi - great video - I’m about to do a dry rock creek myself and this has helped - one question…won’t a landscape fabric allow water to seep through into the soil under under the fabric? I was going to use builders plastic between the rocks and the soil so all the water goes down the creek….

@ColumbusLandscapers

Yes, water will seep through fabric. It's NOT recommend to use plastic. Generally fabric is you best choice in situations like this. Good luck with your project. If you want a non-permiable.. consider a pond liner.

Can you give ideas on boulder or retain wall. I'm in similar situation. this setup looks perfect !

@@ColumbusLandscapers hello, I have a large drainage hole where the water runs off the road into my yard, the drainage goes for about 140’. I need to fill in that drainage hole to bring up the where the water will actually drain effectively. My neighbors, god bless them, thought they could help so they dumped some broken up block in the hole. Do you have any suggestions as to what we should put there so that I can stop the erosion going on around it and get the drainage working properly again? I need to bring it up approx 3 ‘. So far about 600.00 of rip rap and 3” gravel has washed away. I need any and all suggestions please.

That looks very nice, I like the swales in the creek bed to push and control water flow...lets see a follow up in April when she's in full action..only then will we know if your a pro, or a hack...hahahaha..just kidding..it looks beautiful...I dont think many people have any compression of what it takes to create a simple lasting water way...

From the video of it raining, the amount of water flowing will definitely wash the rock down stream. I'd reccomend RIP Rap to slow down the water some, because the rock you used got its shape from being washed down. If that's what customer wanted, I understand. Could've used half the rock and piled the rest nearby to fill what washed out. JS

Looks great except for the landscape fabric that's not needed

Still needs an embankment to hold the water ?

Darn that's a serious drainage area

@ronaldshank7589

Agreed. Water flowing through that area with the amount of force that it can move with, could easily wash the smaller rocks downstream at a much faster rate than some people may believe. A square yard (36×36×36), can move with a force of 1,700 pounds. That's a lot of force! I'm not saying that a gentle Rain would do a lot of harm, but if you get a Severe Weather Event, such as prolonged flooding, or even a Severe Thunderstorm with a lot of Rain, then conditions can change rapidly! It'd be better to use larger rocks for that drainage area, as opposed to small stuff like this!

The main issue isn't erosion in this case but the size of the stones used. I think that no matter how eroded are those stones they may eventually get washed out in case of a major rain event with strong water current...These stones look too small to me, more squarish and most importantly bigger stones might be more suitable for this purpose...but who knows, maybe they don't get those big rain events over there, but the big size of that drainage pipe seems to indicate otherwise...

Personally, I would've extended the pipe. That's not a 'creek'. They have a drainage ditch cutting through the yard! Better to manage & evacuate the water as quickly as possible! If it was a a 24x7x365 true CREEK, That's different, Your solution ( with bigger rocks and 'cleaning up' the exposed pipe ends ) would be a long lasting picturesque addition!
