Rip Rap (Class 2 (3″ To 24″))

Rip Rap in Class 2 (3” to 24”) Size Range

Rip Rap in a Class 2 size range (3" to 24") is a large, durable stone aggregate commonly used for erosion control and shoreline stabilization. Produced by quarrying and breaking down larger rocks, this material features irregular, angular pieces that interlock effectively when placed, creating a stable barrier against water and wind forces.




The broad size range of Class 2 Rip Rap makes it especially effective for heavy-duty applications where significant protection is required. Its large, angular stones resist displacement and absorb energy from flowing water, making it ideal for lining riverbanks, protecting culverts, reinforcing bridge abutments, and stabilizing slopes. In residential settings, it can be used for decorative retaining walls or to prevent soil erosion on steep landscapes. While its size and weight make it difficult to compact or move by hand, these same qualities ensure long-lasting performance and minimal maintenance.
