Rip Rap (4″ To 10″, Basalt)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap Basalt in 4" to 10" Size Range
Rip Rap basalt in a 4" to 10" size range is a highly durable, angular stone product sourced from naturally occurring basalt rock. This material is produced by quarrying and mechanically breaking down large basalt boulders into rough, irregular pieces within the specified size range. The inherent strength and density of basalt make this rip rap exceptionally resistant to weathering and erosion.
The 4" to 10" size range is ideal for heavy-duty erosion control, shoreline stabilization, and slope protection, as the larger stones interlock to form a stable barrier that resists displacement from water flow or wave action. This size is commonly used in commercial and municipal projects such as riverbanks, culvert outlets, bridge abutments, and retaining walls, as well as in residential applications for decorative dry creek beds or large-scale landscaping. The angular shape of basalt rip rap ensures excellent interlocking and minimal movement, though its size and weight can make installation more labor-intensive. Overall, basalt rip rap offers superior longevity and performance in demanding environments.
