Rip Rap (4″ To 10″)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap in a 4" to 10" Size Range
Rip Rap in the 4" to 10" size range is a large, durable aggregate commonly produced from natural stone or quarried rock. These substantial stones are specifically selected and graded to provide effective erosion control and slope stabilization. The larger size range ensures that the material stays in place even under heavy water flow or harsh weather conditions, making it ideal for demanding environments.
This size of Rip Rap is frequently used in both residential and commercial projects for shoreline protection, stream bank reinforcement, culvert outfalls, and retaining wall backfill. Its substantial mass and irregular shapes interlock to absorb and deflect the energy of moving water, reducing soil loss and preventing washouts. While its large size makes it less suitable for decorative landscaping or areas requiring compaction, it excels in applications where stability and long-term durability are critical.
