Rip Rap (8″ To 16″, Limsetone, Plain)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap Limestone, Plain - 8" to 16"
Rip Rap in the 8" to 16" size range is a large, durable aggregate made from plain limestone. Produced by quarrying and breaking down natural limestone rock, this material is characterized by its substantial size and angular shape, which helps it interlock and stay in place even under heavy water flow or erosion.
The 8" to 16" size makes this rip rap ideal for high-energy environments where significant erosion control is needed, such as shoreline protection, riverbanks, bridge abutments, and large drainage channels. Its plain limestone composition ensures long-lasting performance and natural appearance, blending well with most landscapes. While its large size provides excellent stability and resistance to displacement, it is not suitable for areas requiring compaction or a smooth surface. This makes it a top choice for both commercial and residential projects focused on erosion control, slope stabilization, and heavy-duty landscaping.
