Rip Rap (3/4″ To 2.5″)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap in a 3/4" to 2.5" Size Range
Rip Rap in the 3/4" to 2.5" size range is a durable, coarse aggregate composed of angular or roughly shaped stones. Produced by quarrying and crushing larger rocks, this material is designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions and resist displacement.
The 3/4" to 2.5" size range offers a balance between stability and coverage, making it ideal for projects where moderate erosion control and surface protection are needed. This size is large enough to prevent washout but small enough for easier handling and placement compared to larger rip rap. Common applications include lining drainage ditches, protecting shorelines, reinforcing slopes, and creating decorative landscape features. While its angular shape helps lock the stones together for added stability, it may be less comfortable for foot traffic and is not intended for compacted surfaces. Overall, this rip rap size is valued for its effectiveness in erosion control and its versatility in both residential and commercial settings.
