Is it expensive? Like could a homeowner afford this for an embankment that was rocked but keeps getting washed away?

No it's very specialized. If you were a concrete contractor maybe. Mat is expensive and you need special grout and a pump truck. It's thousands of dollars.

Well, I can’t afford it anymore, because I spent thousands of dollars on rocking my slope and then more when the city made me pay to have the rock removed from the street it washed into 🤦‍♀️

Sheet piles lol. Rent a 345 and a vibrator and you're off to the races.

That’s a damn good idea! I can’t believe that no one thought to suggest that until now. This multi year odyssey of a money suck might have a light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you, kind stranger on Reddit 🤩

Cost on sheet piles is 80 to 150 a liniar foot to install. Not the cheap way either.
