We also haul away debris and grade the surface so your site is ready for your contractor to begin construction. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62445579287ca31042ea03c9/293e6fb0-dd24-43f3-a8fd-fcb6f838805d/Man-Septic-450x300.jpg SITE PREPARATION - SEPTIC SYSTEMS Earth Resources has the expertise to install top-quality conventional systems and engineered systems. We are licensed to install systems from various trademarked firms. Our team will put in a septic tank and prepare either underground leaching fields or above-ground ponds where water removed from the tank is further purified and allowed to return to the ecosystem. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62445579287ca31042ea03c9/a724014a-7bfb-4b64-b76f-979edd10b2c1/RoadBuilding-450x300.jpg SITE PREPARATION - ROAD BUILDING Earth Resources specializes in building roads for residential properties. We begin by removing the topsoil layer, preserving it for the homeowner’s use. We place a permeable fabric under-layment on the roadbed then cover the underlayment with a base of pit gravel and a top layer of stone. Owners can give their roads a look that matches the structures on the property by choosing stone from a wide variety of styles, sizes and colors. https://www.earthresourcesinc.com/about-us daily 0.75 2024-03-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62445579287ca31042ea03c9/ca6c4a85-6ec4-4f2b-ba8d-a8a0c64df256/HandsDetail-450x300.jpg ABOUT US - About Us Earth Resources is a family-owned business located just outside Kilmarnock in Lancaster County on Virginia¹s Northern Neck.

The area along the waterfront was cleared of all natural growth and debris. A gently graded slope was created down below the water line, then lined with a filter fabric. Large rocks were hand-placed to create a strong yet attractive protective defense line that allows waves to break naturally over the rocky surface without causing erosion damage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62445579287ca31042ea03c9/1648670190850-9APEPDMWRB671O99UXTX/LandClearing-Before-450x300.jpg SHORE PROTECTION - BEFORE RIPRAP CONSTRUCTION This beautiful waterfront home site was threatened by the very same landscape feature that made it attractive. Its shoreline was unprotected, making it susceptible to erosion caused by tidal flows along the Chesapeake Bay and its tributaries. Additionally, storms passing through the area may have increased damage by raising water levels and creating wave action that pounded away at the exposed areas along the waterfront. Not only was this home’s shoreline being eroded—so was the value of this property. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62445579287ca31042ea03c9/9f16234b-333b-44d0-991b-bab62cb435dc/RiprapDiagrams.jpg SHORE PROTECTION - BEFORE RIPRAP CONSTRUCTION Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62445579287ca31042ea03c9/2e2a1eae-b7ec-4c98-a592-fe55c7014095/RiprapDiagrams2.jpg SHORE PROTECTION - BEFORE RIPRAP CONSTRUCTION Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62445579287ca31042ea03c9/e8448bcc-a35e-4d58-b78a-f9dfa764f11c/RiprapDiagrams3.jpg SHORE PROTECTION Riprap is classified as either graded or uniform. A sample of graded riprap would contain a mixture of stones which vary in size from small to large. A sample of uniform riprap would contain stones which are all fairly close in size. https://www.earthresourcesinc.com/gallery daily 0.75 2025-10-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62445579287ca31042ea03c9/801220d5-0762-4043-91d7-26d11430365d/ER-BeachErosion-1.jpg GALLERY 1) Erosion leaves trees and shoreline exposed to wave and tidal damage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62445579287ca31042ea03c9/7f8a733f-0cee-4d44-9b9b-625ea64ac919/ER-LoadingRockToBarge-1.jpg GALLERY 1) Loading riprap sill to barge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62445579287ca31042ea03c9/223da9a4-e09d-41f4-a4e7-8e6362ae37ba/ER-FillerCloth-2.jpg GALLERY 2) Filter cloth is staked down to provide stable foundation for riprap sill. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62445579287ca31042ea03c9/9e5885b9-9037-4f72-addc-82c61c661c6f/ER-TransportingRock-2.jpg GALLERY 2) Hauling riprap sill by barge to work site. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62445579287ca31042ea03c9/0e8c5f8d-15b0-425b-8e66-2daa7b834844/ER-BeautyShot-2.jpg GALLERY An example of a riprap sill in Mathews County. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62445579287ca31042ea03c9/b8e1593a-84fd-4d5a-be10-fa4e30aae459/ER-RipRapLaidByHand-3.jpg GALLERY 3) Earth Resources stacks riprap sill by hand. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62445579287ca31042ea03c9/1ee95696-5d39-4684-9520-c234e2b69399/ER-PlacingMoreRock-4.jpg GALLERY 3) Placing riprap sill using heavy equipment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62445579287ca31042ea03c9/06f92928-7109-48eb-862a-f4a41b1aea62/ER-BeautyShot-3.jpg GALLERY An example of an Armor Stone and Class 2 revetment in place of a previously existing bulkhead on the Rappahannock River. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62445579287ca31042ea03c9/1b60e605-a316-45a9-a968-0ce4bcbbfc84/ER-BeautyShot-1.jpg GALLERY An example of a riprap revetment off of Moran Creek Road. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62445579287ca31042ea03c9/bb497eda-1cfc-454e-a956-5ef445028fe4/ER-BreaksInRipRap-MarineLife-4.jpg GALLERY 4) Breaks in riprap sill allow for marine life to enter and exit the shoreline. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62445579287ca31042ea03c9/78f14195-7f89-4f6d-8716-de7ecd01f6ec/ER-PlacingRock-3.jpg GALLERY 4) Dropping riprap sill in place. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62445579287ca31042ea03c9/490a4ed1-d5fa-4042-bd9c-569a654bed64/ER-RipRapSillStacked-5.jpg GALLERY 5) The stacked riprap sill is ready for beach nourishment fill. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62445579287ca31042ea03c9/344f3c80-86e5-4fc6-b6e2-95766e8cb23e/ER-FinishedProduct-5.jpg GALLERY 5) The finished job. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62445579287ca31042ea03c9/8559cdbd-3162-4dc7-a49b-f8b0cb547a35/ER-After-7.jpg GALLERY 6) The riprap sill is butted to the existing bulkhead to provide seamless shoreline protection.
