Rip Rap (12″ To 18″, Limestone)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap Limestone in 12" to 18" Size Range
Rip Rap limestone in the 12" to 18" size range is a large, durable aggregate commonly used for erosion control and shoreline stabilization. Produced by quarrying and breaking down natural limestone, these hefty stones are selected for their strength and resistance to weathering, making them ideal for demanding environments.
The substantial 12" to 18" size ensures excellent stability, allowing the material to withstand strong water currents and prevent soil displacement. This makes it a preferred choice for protecting riverbanks, lake shores, bridge abutments, and culvert inlets. In commercial and residential projects, Rip Rap limestone is also used for retaining walls, landscaping features, and heavy-duty drainage solutions. Its large size and angular shape provide superior interlocking, reducing movement and enhancing long-term performance, though it is not suitable for areas requiring compaction or a smooth finish.
