Rip Rap (4″ To 6″)

Rip Rap in a 4” to 6” Size Range

Rip Rap in the 4” to 6” size range is a large, durable aggregate commonly used for erosion control and shoreline stabilization. Produced by crushing and screening natural stone, this material features irregular, angular pieces that interlock effectively, providing superior resistance to water flow and soil displacement.

The 4” to 6” size is ideal for medium-duty applications where significant protection against erosion is needed but where larger stones might be impractical. This size allows for easy handling and placement while still offering excellent stability. Typical uses include lining drainage ditches, reinforcing embankments, protecting culvert inlets and outlets, and creating decorative yet functional landscape features. The angular shape helps the stones lock together, reducing movement and providing long-lasting performance. While rip rap is not suitable for areas requiring a smooth or compacted surface, its strength and effectiveness in controlling erosion make it a preferred choice for both residential and commercial projects.
