Rip Rap (R-2, Red)
Applications & Uses
R-2 Rip Rap in Red
R-2 Rip Rap in a striking red color is a large, durable stone aggregate commonly used for erosion control and heavy-duty landscaping. Produced by quarrying and breaking down natural rock, this material features irregular, angular pieces that interlock for stability. The R-2 size range typically includes stones from 6 to 12 inches, making it ideal for projects requiring substantial mass and resistance to displacement.
The larger R-2 size is particularly effective at dissipating water energy, which helps prevent soil erosion along shorelines, culverts, and embankments. Its bold red hue adds a decorative touch, making it suitable for visible applications such as retaining walls, garden borders, and architectural accents. While its size and weight make it less suitable for compacting or walkways, R-2 Rip Rap excels in high-impact, protective, and visually appealing installations for both residential and commercial projects.
