Rip Rap (Class 7 (3/4″ Minus)

Rip Rap - Class 7 (3/4" Minus)

Rip Rap in a Class 7 (3/4" minus) size range is a versatile crushed stone aggregate, engineered for stability and durability. Unlike larger rip rap, this material consists of stones up to 3/4 inch in diameter, with smaller particles and fines included. The "minus" designation means the mix contains a range of sizes down to dust, which helps the material compact tightly and lock together.

This specific size and gradation make Class 7 rip rap ideal for applications where erosion control and surface stability are needed, but a smoother, more compacted finish is desired. It is commonly used for slope stabilization, base layers for roads and driveways, and as a protective layer around culverts and drainage ditches. The fine particles improve compaction and reduce voids, resulting in a firm, stable surface, though this also means it offers less drainage than larger, open-graded rip rap. Overall, Class 7 (3/4" minus) rip rap is a practical choice for both residential and commercial projects requiring a balance of erosion resistance and compactability.
