Rip Rap (R-4, Brown)

Rip Rap in R-4 Size Range - Brown

Rip Rap in the R-4 size range is a large, durable stone aggregate commonly used for erosion control and shoreline stabilization. The R-4 designation typically refers to stones ranging from 6 to 12 inches in diameter, making them ideal for heavy-duty applications where significant protection against water or wind erosion is required. The natural brown color blends well with outdoor environments, providing a more aesthetically pleasing finish compared to standard gray aggregates.

The substantial size of R-4 Rip Rap ensures excellent resistance to displacement, making it a preferred choice for lining channels, protecting culvert inlets and outlets, and reinforcing embankments. Its weight and angularity help lock the stones in place, reducing maintenance needs and improving long-term stability. While its large size makes it unsuitable for compacted surfaces or pathways, it excels in high-energy environments where smaller aggregates would wash away. Both residential and commercial projects benefit from its durability and natural appearance, especially in landscaping, retaining walls, and water management systems.
