Rip Rap (Class 1, Limsetone)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap Limestone - Class 1
Rip Rap in a Class 1 size range is a large, durable limestone aggregate designed for heavy-duty erosion control and stabilization projects. Produced by quarrying and crushing natural limestone, this material features angular, interlocking pieces that provide excellent resistance to water flow and displacement.
The Class 1 size range ensures each stone is substantial enough to withstand high-velocity water and prevent soil loss, making it ideal for lining shorelines, riverbanks, culverts, and drainage channels. Limestone's natural hardness and density enhance its longevity and structural integrity, while its angular shape helps lock pieces together for added stability. Common applications include commercial and residential slope protection, retaining wall backfill, and large-scale landscaping. While its size and weight make it less suitable for decorative or compacted surfaces, Rip Rap Limestone Class 1 excels in demanding environments where erosion control and durability are top priorities.
