Rip Rap (2″ To 8″)

Rip Rap in a 2" to 8" Size Range

Rip Rap in the 2" to 8" size range is a large, durable aggregate commonly used for erosion control and shoreline stabilization. Produced by crushing and screening natural stone, this material features irregular, angular pieces that interlock effectively, providing superior resistance to water and wind forces.

The substantial size range of 2" to 8" makes this Rip Rap ideal for heavy-duty applications where stability and protection are critical. Its large, angular stones are less likely to be displaced, making it a preferred choice for lining riverbanks, protecting bridge abutments, reinforcing culverts, and constructing retaining walls. In residential settings, it is often used for decorative landscaping, creating natural-looking barriers, or controlling runoff on steep slopes.

While Rip Rap is excellent for preventing soil erosion and offering long-term durability, its coarse texture and size make it unsuitable for areas requiring a smooth or compacted surface. However, its effectiveness in high-flow or high-impact environments makes it a reliable solution for both commercial and residential projects needing robust protection.
