Drainage Ditch Rock Installation with Weed Barrier

Medium river cobble for drainage ditches that hold water days after rain, grow weeds. Asks for thoughts.

Recommended System

Commercial-grade permeable weed barrier (DeWitt) on both sides of ditch. dewittcompany.com for specs and distributors.

Critical Installation Notes

  • No shortcuts—proper anchoring prevents slipping
  • Line entire ditch including bed—water permeates freely
  • Add water-loving plants for interest (zone-appropriate)
