Rip Rap (Class 30 (3/4″ To 1.5″)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap in Class 30 (3/4" to 1.5") Size Range
Rip Rap in a Class 30 size range (3/4" to 1.5") is a durable, coarse aggregate composed of natural stone or crushed rock. This material is specifically sized to provide effective erosion control and stabilization in both residential and commercial settings. The Class 30 size offers a balance between large, heavy stones and smaller aggregates, making it versatile for a variety of applications.
The 3/4" to 1.5" size range allows for excellent interlocking, which helps prevent soil displacement while still permitting water flow, making it ideal for lining drainage ditches, protecting shorelines, and reinforcing slopes. This size is also manageable for manual placement in landscaping projects, such as garden borders or decorative features. While Rip Rap in this size is less likely to compact tightly, its primary advantage is superior drainage and erosion resistance. It is not typically used for load-bearing surfaces but excels in areas where water management and soil retention are priorities.
