Rip Rap (8″ To 20″)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap in 8" to 20" Size Range
Rip Rap in the 8" to 20" size range is a large, durable stone aggregate commonly used for erosion control and shoreline stabilization. Produced by quarrying and breaking down larger rock formations, these stones are selected for their substantial size and weight, which help them resist displacement by water or wind.
The 8" to 20" size range is ideal for heavy-duty applications where maximum stability is required. Larger stones interlock to form a robust barrier, making this material especially effective for protecting riverbanks, culvert outlets, bridge abutments, and coastal areas from erosion. In residential settings, it is often used for retaining walls, landscape features, and decorative borders. While its size makes it less suitable for compacting or walking surfaces, it excels in situations where strength and longevity are priorities.
