Rip Rap (Class B (6″ To 12″), Granite)

Rip Rap Granite, Class B (6” to 12”)

Rip Rap in a Class B size range (6" to 12") made from durable granite is a heavy-duty aggregate designed for robust erosion control and stabilization projects. Granite, known for its exceptional hardness and resistance to weathering, ensures long-lasting performance even in harsh environmental conditions. The large, angular stones are typically produced by mechanically breaking and sorting granite rock, resulting in pieces that interlock effectively when placed.




The substantial size of Class B rip rap makes it ideal for protecting shorelines, riverbanks, bridge abutments, and culvert outlets from water and wind erosion. Its weight and angularity help prevent displacement, while the gaps between stones allow for effective drainage, reducing hydrostatic pressure. Common applications include commercial and residential slope stabilization, stormwater management, and the construction of retaining walls. While its size and weight make it less suitable for decorative or pedestrian areas, granite rip rap is valued for its strength, longevity, and low maintenance requirements in demanding environments.
