[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 613838, member: 3162"] After chopping limestone into bricklike blockss, the left over ends and tails are sold as rip rap. A whole lot of folks buy the rip rap who are in your situation. I have sold several hundred tons of it to folks who live on the lakes and boat wakes beat over their walls. Long term, the foundation is going to erode underneath your wall. The funnels you speak of are exactly what does it. You must have a heck of a good chain wall already. I would put rip rap in the water against the wall first thing. Go a minimum of 2 feet out and 2 feet up. Then I would back fill the holes with concrete if possible. Pack the ground really well. Then run a wide sidewalk on top of the wall. Pour a chain wall and build another wall to back fill in on the opposite side of the sidewalk. Find you some type of deep rooted shrubs that will grow in that situation and plant them thick on the upside of the new wall. That is the only recipe I know that works for certain long term. [/QUOTE]
