Rip Rap in R-5 (18” Minus) Size Range - Red
Rip Rap in the R-5 (18" minus) size range is a large, durable aggregate commonly used for erosion control and shoreline stabilization. This material consists of irregular, angular stones up to 18 inches in diameter, offering substantial mass and interlocking capability. The distinctive red color adds a decorative touch, making it suitable for projects where aesthetics are important alongside functionality.
The large size of R-5 Rip Rap is ideal for high-energy environments, such as protecting riverbanks, bridge abutments, culverts, and slopes from water or wind erosion. Its weight and angularity help it stay in place even under heavy flow conditions, while the gaps between stones promote effective drainage. In residential and commercial landscaping, red Rip Rap is also used for retaining walls, garden borders, and as a striking ground cover. While its size makes it less suitable for compacted surfaces or pedestrian areas, it excels in applications where stability and visual impact are priorities.Applications & Uses
