My son is working on an Eagle project, fixing up a township park. One
of
the things he will do is fill a couple of ruts with stone. These ruts
had
been filled with stone before, but some has washed out. (Parts of the
park
get a bit flooded from an adjacent stream, causing the ruts.)

Someone has suggested that he look into "modified" stone, without really
knowing what it is. Poking around the web, modified stone seems to have
stone dust and small pieces mixed in with it, mainly for use as a
driveway
base. Doesn't seem that this would help with a washout situation.

Any comments on a way to fill in these ruts?

Thanks.

ruts like car ruts? or ruts like a washout?
if the water/ river is eroding it, planting some type of grass or ect,
will hold dirt down for a while, or, you can concrete over the trouble
spot,
some places dump old Christmas trees in rivers to help promote fish
habitat
and slow down erosion at the same time,
If the water is eroding the banks though, you'll never win that fight.
those caged rock "bricks" seem to work decently.

Don't know the history of the ruts, but they're not on the bank. The cage
is a good idea, maybe use a cage when he tops off the old stones with new
stones.

Thanks.
