Rip Rap (R-1, Limsetone)
Applications & Uses
R-1 Limestone Rip Rap
R-1 limestone rip rap is a durable, angular stone product specifically sized for effective erosion control and stabilization projects. Produced by quarrying and crushing high-quality limestone, this material features individual stones typically ranging from 6 to 12 inches in diameter. The angular shape of the limestone pieces allows them to interlock tightly, providing superior resistance to displacement by water or wind.
This R-1 size is ideal for applications where moderate protection is needed, such as lining small drainage channels, reinforcing shorelines, or protecting culvert inlets and outlets. The limestone composition offers excellent longevity and resistance to weathering, making it a reliable choice for both residential and commercial projects. While its larger size makes it less suitable for compacted surfaces or decorative landscaping, R-1 limestone rip rap excels in situations where robust erosion control and structural stability are priorities.
