Rip Rap (4″ To 24″)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap in a 4" to 24" Size Range
Rip Rap in a 4" to 24" 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 water and preventing soil displacement.
The broad size range allows for effective interlocking, creating a stable barrier that resists movement even in high-flow conditions. This makes Rip Rap especially valuable for lining riverbanks, protecting bridge abutments, reinforcing culverts, and stabilizing slopes. In residential settings, it is often used for decorative retaining walls, garden borders, and pond edges. While its large size and weight make it difficult to compact or walk on, these same qualities ensure excellent durability and long-term performance in demanding environments.
