Rip Rap (4″ To 9″, Washed)
Applications & Uses
Washed Rip Rap, 4" to 9"
Washed Rip Rap in the 4" to 9" size range is a large, durable aggregate commonly used for erosion control and heavy-duty stabilization projects. Produced by screening and washing quarried stone, this material is free from excess dust and fines, ensuring cleaner installation and improved longevity in demanding environments.
The washed attribute means the stones are clean and less likely to introduce sediment into waterways, making them ideal for environmentally sensitive applications. The substantial 4" to 9" size provides excellent resistance to displacement from water flow or heavy impact, making this rip rap a top choice for shoreline protection, culvert outlets, bridge abutments, and slope stabilization. While its large size offers superior erosion control and structural integrity, it is less suitable for areas requiring compaction or a smooth finish. Overall, washed rip rap is valued for its durability, low maintenance, and effectiveness in both residential and commercial landscape and infrastructure projects.
