Rip Rap (Class 1 (1″ To 6″)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap in Class 1 (1" to 6") Size Range
Rip Rap in a Class 1 size range (1" to 6") is a durable, coarse aggregate composed of large, angular stones. Produced by quarrying and breaking down larger rock, this material is specifically sized to provide effective erosion control and slope stabilization.
The 1" to 6" size range offers a balance between coverage and stability, making it ideal for lining drainage channels, protecting shorelines, and reinforcing embankments. Its substantial weight and irregular shapes help lock the stones in place, reducing movement from water flow or weather. Common applications include residential and commercial projects such as retaining wall bases, culvert protection, and landscape features. While its large size makes it excellent for preventing soil loss and dissipating energy from flowing water, it is not suitable for areas requiring compaction or a smooth surface.
