Rip Rap
Rip Rap is a large, durable aggregate commonly used in construction and landscaping for erosion control and shoreline stabilization. Produced by quarrying and breaking down larger stones, Rip Rap consists of irregular, angular rocks that interlock to form a stable barrier against water and wind forces.
This material is especially valued for its ability to absorb and deflect the energy of flowing water, making it ideal for protecting riverbanks, culvert outlets, bridge abutments, and coastal areas. In residential and commercial projects, Rip Rap is also used for retaining walls, slope protection, and decorative features in landscaping. Its large size and weight make it difficult to compact, but these same properties ensure excellent stability and long-term performance in high-stress environments.
