Rip Rap Limestone in a 4" to 9" Size Range

Rip Rap limestone in the 4" to 9" size range is a durable, angular stone product specifically engineered for heavy-duty erosion control and stabilization projects. Produced by quarrying and crushing high-quality limestone, these large stones are designed to interlock and resist displacement, making them ideal for demanding environments.

The substantial 4" to 9" size range provides excellent resistance to water flow and wave action, making this material a top choice for shoreline protection, riverbanks, culvert outlets, and slope stabilization. The limestone attribute ensures long-lasting performance, as it is naturally resistant to weathering and chemical breakdown. While its large size and angular shape make it less suitable for compacting or decorative applications, these same qualities deliver superior stability and drainage in high-energy settings. Rip Rap limestone is commonly used in both residential and commercial projects where robust erosion control and structural integrity are required.
