Rip Rap in a 30" Size Range

Rip Rap in a 30" size range is a large, durable aggregate commonly used for heavy-duty erosion control and shoreline stabilization. Produced from natural stone, this material is typically sourced from quarries and broken into substantial, irregular pieces to withstand harsh environmental conditions.

The substantial 30" size makes this Rip Rap ideal for projects requiring maximum resistance to water flow and wave action, such as protecting riverbanks, bridge abutments, and coastal areas. Its large mass and irregular shape help dissipate energy from moving water, reducing soil erosion and maintaining structural integrity. While its size makes it less suitable for decorative or small-scale landscaping, it excels in commercial and infrastructure applications where robust protection is essential.
