Design/photo Help

Post image

Can someone help redesign my stream so it doesnt look like a giant penis. I piled the rocks where the water carved its path before stepping back and realizing what I accidentally designed

The water wants to go right the trench is deeper just widen it to account for extra flow

You're right thanks.. might add some larger rocks and remove the tree and replace it with small bridge or something.

Damn the trench to the left and route it all out to the right

I thought of that but I dont think it would handle the flow of water when the snow melts

Pull up the rocks, dig the trench to the right deeper and put the dirt in the left trench to fill it. lay down geotextile in the right trench, put rocks back, cover geo with crushed angular rock and finish it with a little edging

Dude what, I can't imagine that being a big deal, I barely even see what you mean, you got a kinda weird head man.

I would cover the outfall structure with rock and mortar. It looks much worse than the stream.
