Dry riverbeds are common to install in yards, as they add a point of interest in the yard and function to prevent erosion in spots that water tends to run.
This riverbed is between two houses and directs the water off the neighbor’s driveway.
During a heavy rain this spot runs like a river so the rock looks good and handles the water well.
This spot was always wet and they didn’t want to mow it so we removed the grass and installed fabric and the stone.

We also installed walls over the culverts to make it look better and to help with mowing.
It is common to install a stone slab over the stream beds if a path crosses it.
Here is a drain ditch made to look good using river rock.
We ran all the down spouts to the river bed and ran it through the patio area.
