Rip Rap - Unsized, Chocolate Brown/Brown

Rip Rap in an unsized, chocolate brown to brown color range is a rugged, natural stone material commonly used for erosion control and heavy-duty landscaping. Unlike graded rip rap, unsized rip rap consists of irregularly shaped stones in a variety of sizes, offering a more organic appearance and interlocking structure. The distinctive chocolate brown hues add a warm, earthy aesthetic to any project.

The unsized attribute means the stones are not sorted by specific dimensions, which enhances their ability to form a stable barrier against water flow and soil movement. This makes them ideal for shoreline protection, stream banks, culvert outlets, and slope stabilization. In residential and commercial settings, unsized rip rap is also used for decorative features, retaining walls, and naturalized drainage channels. While the irregular sizing can make installation less uniform, it provides excellent resistance to displacement and superior drainage.
