Rip Rap (3″ To 5″, Clean)

Clean Rip Rap in a 3” to 5” Size Range

Clean rip rap in the 3” to 5” size range is a durable, angular stone product specifically screened to remove fines and debris. This material is typically produced by crushing larger rocks and then washing or screening them to ensure a consistent, clean finish. The “clean” attribute means the stones are free from dirt and smaller particles, which helps maintain drainage and reduces the risk of clogging in various applications.

The 3” to 5” size range offers an ideal balance between stability and ease of handling. These mid-sized stones are large enough to resist displacement from water flow or erosion, yet small enough for precise placement in landscaping and construction projects. Clean rip rap is commonly used for shoreline protection, slope stabilization, drainage channels, and around culverts. In residential settings, it’s also popular for decorative borders, garden beds, and erosion control on sloped yards. The absence of fines makes this material excellent for drainage and reduces maintenance, though it may be less suitable for areas requiring tight compaction.
