Rip Rap (24″)
Applications & Uses
24" Rip Rap: Heavy-Duty Erosion Control Stone
24" Rip Rap is a large, durable stone aggregate specifically sized for demanding erosion control and stabilization projects. Produced by quarrying and breaking down massive rock formations, these stones are typically angular, which helps them interlock and stay in place even under intense water flow or heavy impact.
The substantial 24-inch size makes this rip rap ideal for protecting shorelines, riverbanks, bridge abutments, and culvert outlets from severe erosion. Its weight and bulk prevent displacement, making it a preferred choice for high-energy environments where smaller aggregates would wash away. In addition to commercial and municipal applications, 24" rip rap is also used in large-scale residential landscaping to create dramatic retaining walls or to armor steep slopes.
While its size offers unmatched stability and longevity, it can be challenging to install without heavy equipment and is not suitable for areas requiring a smooth or compacted surface. However, for projects demanding maximum erosion resistance and structural integrity, 24" rip rap is an essential material.
