Rip Rap (2″ To 4″)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap in a 2" to 4" Size Range
Rip Rap in a 2" to 4" size range is a durable, coarse aggregate composed of large, angular stones. Produced by quarrying and breaking down larger rocks, this material is specifically sized to provide effective erosion control and stabilization in both residential and commercial settings.
The 2" to 4" size range offers an ideal balance between weight and coverage, making it effective for protecting shorelines, stream banks, culvert inlets, and slopes from water or wind erosion. Its substantial size allows for excellent interlocking, which helps prevent displacement while still allowing water to flow through, reducing hydrostatic pressure. This makes it a popular choice for drainage channels, retaining wall backfill, and even decorative landscaping where a rugged, natural look is desired.
While Rip Rap is not suitable for areas requiring a smooth or compacted surface, its large, angular stones provide superior stability and longevity in high-impact environments. It is valued for its low maintenance and long-term performance in erosion-prone areas.
