Washed Rip Rap, 3" to 8"

Washed rip rap in a 3" to 8" size range is a durable, coarse aggregate composed of large, angular stones that have been thoroughly cleaned to remove dust, clay, and debris. The washing process ensures a cleaner product, which is especially important for projects where sediment control and water quality are priorities.

The substantial 3" to 8" size range makes this rip rap ideal for heavy-duty erosion control, shoreline stabilization, and the protection of slopes, culverts, and drainage channels. The large, angular stones interlock effectively, providing excellent resistance to water flow and minimizing displacement. The washed attribute reduces the risk of clogging in drainage applications and helps maintain cleaner water runoff. Common uses include commercial and residential retaining walls, embankment reinforcement, and decorative landscape features. While its size and weight make it less suitable for areas requiring compaction or pedestrian use, washed rip rap excels in high-impact, high-flow environments where stability and longevity are essential.
