Rip Rap (1″ To 2″)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap in a 1" to 2" Size Range
Rip Rap in a 1" to 2" size range is a durable, coarse aggregate composed of crushed stone or rock. This material is produced by mechanically breaking down larger rocks into angular pieces, ensuring stability and resistance to shifting. The 1" to 2" size offers a balance between effective erosion control and ease of handling, making it suitable for a variety of applications.
The relatively small size of this Rip Rap allows for tighter packing and better coverage in areas where larger stones might be impractical. It is commonly used for shoreline protection, slope stabilization, drainage channels, and around culverts to prevent soil erosion. In residential settings, it can be used for decorative borders, garden beds, or small retaining walls. The angular shape helps the stones interlock, providing excellent resistance to movement, though it may be less comfortable for foot traffic compared to rounded alternatives. Overall, 1" to 2" Rip Rap is valued for its versatility, durability, and effectiveness in both commercial and residential erosion control projects.
