Rip Rap (4″)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap in a 4" Size Range
Rip Rap in a 4" size range is a large, durable stone aggregate commonly used for erosion control and shoreline stabilization. Produced by quarrying and breaking down larger rocks, these stones are angular and heavy, making them ideal for withstanding the force of moving water and preventing soil displacement.
The 4" size offers a balance between stability and ease of placement, making it suitable for lining drainage ditches, protecting culvert inlets and outlets, and reinforcing embankments. This size is large enough to resist being washed away by moderate water flow, yet manageable for installation in both residential and commercial projects. While its bulkiness means it is not suitable for compacted surfaces or decorative landscaping, 4" Rip Rap excels in functional applications where durability and erosion resistance are critical.
