Rip Rap in R-3 (6” Minus) Size Range - Brown
Rip Rap in the R-3 (6" minus) size range is a durable, coarse aggregate commonly used for erosion control and slope stabilization. This material consists of irregular, angular stones that are typically produced by quarrying and breaking down larger rock formations. The brown color offers a natural, earthy appearance that blends well with outdoor landscapes.
The R-3 (6" minus) sizing means each stone is up to 6 inches in diameter, making it effective for dissipating water energy and preventing soil loss on embankments, shorelines, and drainage channels. Its substantial size and weight help resist displacement during heavy rainfall or water flow, while the angular shape allows the stones to interlock for added stability. Common applications include protecting culvert inlets and outlets, reinforcing stream banks, and creating decorative yet functional landscape features. While its large size provides excellent erosion control, it is not suitable for areas requiring a smooth or compacted surface.Applications & Uses
