As our standard cross section shows, filter fabric is installed against the bank vertically behind the armor rock and back filled between with 4x 8 gravel or spalls. Complete coverage is essential. Extra heavy non-woven felt prevents soil or sand behind the wall from escaping to cause sink holes. Filter fabric may be used to segregate the finishing gravel on top of the wall (optional) from the larger spall that lays beneath.
