I am installing a gravel lakeshore for my uncle and want to do it
right. Some have suggested landscape fabric (2 layers) beneath the 8"
deep of 3" rip rap that will be going down. The size of the area is
6' x 300'. Any recommendations are appreciated.

I've heard of construction fabrics being put under stone road beds to
distribute the load. They are probably more rugged than landscape fabric.
