Rip Rap (2″ To 6″)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap in a 2" to 6" Size Range
Rip Rap in a 2" to 6" 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 demanding environments.
The 2" to 6" size range offers an optimal balance between weight and coverage, making it ideal 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 even under heavy flow conditions. Common applications include residential and commercial drainage channels, retaining wall backfill, and decorative landscape features where robust protection and a natural appearance are desired. While its large, irregular shape makes it less suitable for compacted surfaces, it excels in situations where stability and drainage are priorities.
