Rip Rap (3″ To 8″)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap in a 3" to 8" Size Range
Rip Rap in the 3" to 8" size range is a large, durable aggregate commonly used for erosion control and shoreline stabilization. Produced by quarrying and breaking down larger stones, this material features irregular, angular shapes that interlock effectively, providing superior resistance to water flow and soil displacement.
The 3" to 8" size range is ideal for projects requiring substantial weight and coverage, such as protecting riverbanks, culvert outlets, and slopes from erosion. Its large size allows for excellent energy dissipation, making it a preferred choice for high-flow drainage channels and retaining wall backfill. While its bulk makes it less suitable for decorative or compacted surfaces, Rip Rap's robust performance in heavy-duty applications makes it a reliable solution for both residential and commercial projects where long-term stability is essential.
