Rip Rap Granite, 6" to 18"

Rip Rap in a 6" to 18" size range, made from durable granite, is a large, angular stone product designed for heavy-duty erosion control and stabilization projects. Granite's natural hardness and resistance to weathering make it an ideal choice for long-lasting performance in demanding environments.

The substantial size of these stones allows them to effectively absorb and deflect the energy of flowing water, making them perfect for shoreline protection, riverbanks, culvert outlets, and slope stabilization. In commercial and residential settings, granite rip rap is commonly used to prevent soil erosion, reinforce embankments, and create natural-looking retaining walls. While its large size and weight make it difficult to compact or use for decorative purposes, these same attributes ensure excellent stability and minimal movement once installed.
