Rip Rap (MDOT, Limestone, Heavy) - 18" to 30"

Rip Rap in the 18" to 30" size range, made from heavy MDOT-approved limestone, is a robust construction aggregate designed for maximum erosion control and slope stabilization. This material consists of large, angular limestone pieces that are carefully selected and processed to meet strict MDOT (Michigan Department of Transportation) standards, ensuring consistent quality and durability.

The substantial size of these stones makes them ideal for high-energy environments where smaller aggregates would be displaced, such as shorelines, bridge abutments, culvert outlets, and steep embankments. The heavy, angular nature of the limestone allows for excellent interlocking, providing superior resistance to water flow and soil movement. While its large size and weight make it less suitable for decorative or compacted surfaces, it excels in protecting infrastructure from severe erosion and washouts. This rip rap is a preferred choice for both commercial and municipal projects requiring long-lasting, heavy-duty protection.
