  • Dry Stream Does Double Duty
  • A streambed stops erosion and enhances the landscape
  • A dry streambed—one that has water running in it only in wet weather—can secure the soil and direct rainwater runoff while turning an eyesore into an appealing garden feature.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • a dry stream—a shallow swale lined with stone substantial enough to withstand a serious downpour. Large chunks of stone or concrete, termed rip-rap, are sometimes dumped on creek embankments to slow the speed of storm water and to prevent erosion.
  • also provides an ideal place for plants.
  • Creating a gentle curve in a streambed results in a more natural appearance and serves to reduce the velocity of the water
  • creates areas for major plant groupings

  • too soggy, dry, hot, or shady to grow plants, consider creating a dry stream bed. A dry stream bed can reduce topsoil erosion in areas in which runoff is a problem
  • Your dry stream bed will look best if it follows an existing slope or change in elevation
  • natural creek beds are usually wider than they are deep.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • don't overwhelm a small stream bed with huge boulders.
  • For a more natural appearance, put some rocks on top of each other or partially bury them. Move the stones around to get the look you want, filling the spaces with more river rocks. Spread fine gravel at the lower end of the dry stream bed to create the appearance of naturally deposited sediment.
  • Add plants along the banks
