Rip Rap (3″ To 12″)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap in a 3" to 12" Size Range
Rip Rap in the 3" to 12" 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 broad size range of 3" to 12" makes this Rip Rap ideal for heavy-duty applications where maximum stability is required. Larger stones are less likely to be displaced by strong currents or heavy runoff, making them a preferred choice for protecting riverbanks, culvert outlets, bridge abutments, and coastal areas. In residential settings, Rip Rap is often used for landscaping accents, retaining walls, and decorative water features. While its size and weight make it difficult to compact or walk on, these same attributes ensure long-lasting performance and minimal maintenance in demanding environments.
