Rip Rap (Type C, Black)

Rip Rap, Type C, Black

Rip Rap in a Type C size range and black color is a large, durable aggregate commonly used for erosion control and shoreline stabilization. Produced from high-quality quarried stone, this material is characterized by its substantial size-Type C typically includes rocks ranging from 6 to 18 inches in diameter. The black coloration offers a distinctive, bold appearance that can enhance the visual appeal of landscaping and infrastructure projects.

The large size of Type C Rip Rap makes it especially effective at dissipating water energy, preventing soil loss, and protecting embankments, culverts, and bridge abutments from erosion. Its weight and angularity help it lock in place, providing long-term stability even in high-flow or high-impact environments. Common applications include riverbanks, lake shores, stormwater channels, and large-scale commercial landscaping. While its size and weight make it less suitable for areas requiring compaction or pedestrian use, these same attributes ensure superior performance in heavy-duty protective roles.
