Rip Rap (<12", Limestone)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap Limestone <12" Size Range
Rip Rap in a limestone composition and less than 12-inch size range is a durable, angular stone product designed for heavy-duty erosion control and stabilization projects. Produced by quarrying and crushing natural limestone, this material offers excellent strength and longevity, making it ideal for demanding environments.
The <12" size range provides substantial mass for effective resistance against water flow, wave action, and soil displacement, while still being manageable for installation. Limestone's natural density and angularity help the stones interlock, enhancing stability and reducing movement over time. This makes it particularly effective for shoreline protection, culvert outfalls, slope stabilization, and retaining wall backfill in both residential and commercial settings.
Key advantages include superior erosion control, long-lasting performance, and minimal maintenance. However, due to its large size, Rip Rap is not suitable for areas requiring compaction or a smooth finish. Its natural appearance also makes it a popular choice for decorative landscape features and naturalized water features.
