Rip Rap in Class 2 (2" to 12") Size Range

Rip Rap in the Class 2 size range (2" to 12") is a large, durable stone aggregate commonly used for erosion control and shoreline stabilization. Produced by quarrying and breaking down larger rocks, this material is specifically sized to provide substantial mass and stability in high-flow or high-impact environments.

The broad 2" to 12" size range allows Class 2 Rip Rap to interlock effectively, creating a robust barrier that resists displacement from water, wind, or heavy runoff. This makes it ideal for protecting riverbanks, culvert outlets, bridge abutments, and slopes from erosion. In residential and commercial projects, it is also used for decorative retaining walls, landscape features, and as a base for heavy-duty drainage channels. While its large size offers excellent protection and longevity, it is not suitable for areas requiring compaction or a smooth finish.
