Rip Rap (4″ To 8″, Limestone)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap Limestone in 4" to 8" Size Range
Rip Rap limestone in a 4" to 8" size range is a large, durable aggregate commonly used for erosion control and heavy-duty stabilization projects. Produced by quarrying and crushing natural limestone, these angular stones are specifically sized to provide maximum resistance against water flow and soil displacement.
The substantial 4" to 8" size makes this rip rap ideal for protecting shorelines, stream banks, bridge abutments, and culvert inlets from erosion. Its angular shape allows the stones to interlock, creating a stable barrier that resists movement even under strong currents or heavy rainfall. Limestone's natural hardness and weather resistance further enhance its longevity in demanding environments. While its large size makes it less suitable for compacting or decorative uses, it excels in applications where robust protection and drainage are critical, such as commercial embankments, residential retaining walls, and stormwater channels.
