Rip Rap (3″ To 6″, Trap Rock)

Rip Rap Trap Rock (3" to 6")

Rip Rap in a 3" to 6" size range, made from durable trap rock, is a heavy-duty aggregate designed for superior erosion control and slope stabilization. Trap rock is a dense, hard igneous stone known for its exceptional strength and resistance to weathering, making it ideal for demanding environments.

The 3" to 6" size range provides substantial mass and interlocking capability, allowing the stones to stay in place even under heavy water flow or wave action. This makes it a preferred choice for lining shorelines, riverbanks, culverts, and drainage channels, as well as for protecting bridge abutments and embankments. In residential settings, it is often used for decorative retaining walls or to prevent soil erosion on steep slopes. While its large, angular pieces offer excellent stability and drainage, they can be challenging to walk on and are not suitable for compacted surfaces. Overall, this rip rap is valued for its longevity, low maintenance, and reliable performance in both commercial and residential applications.
