Rip Rap (3″ To 6″, Clean)
Applications & Uses
Clean Rip Rap in 3" to 6" Size Range
Clean rip rap in a 3" to 6" size range is a large, angular stone aggregate commonly used for erosion control and heavy-duty stabilization projects. Produced by quarrying and mechanically breaking down larger rocks, this material is screened to ensure consistent sizing and is free from dirt, fines, and debris, thanks to its "clean" attribute.
The 3" to 6" size offers an ideal balance between weight and coverage, making it effective for protecting shorelines, culvert outlets, slopes, and embankments from water or wind erosion. Its clean nature reduces the risk of clogging in drainage applications and ensures better water flow, while the angular shape helps the stones lock together for added stability. Common uses include residential and commercial drainage channels, retaining wall backfill, and decorative landscape features. While clean rip rap is excellent for drainage and erosion control, its large size makes it less suitable for areas requiring compaction or a smooth surface.
