R-5 Red Rip Rap

R-5 red rip rap is a large, durable stone aggregate commonly used for erosion control and heavy-duty landscaping. Sourced from natural quarries, this material features a striking red color that adds visual appeal to functional projects. The R-5 size range typically includes stones between 6 and 12 inches, making it ideal for stabilizing shorelines, embankments, and drainage channels.




The substantial size of R-5 rip rap provides excellent resistance to water flow and soil displacement, ensuring long-term stability in high-impact environments. Its bold red hue offers an attractive alternative to standard gray rip rap, making it suitable for decorative retaining walls, garden borders, and commercial landscaping where aesthetics matter. While its large size makes it less suitable for compacted surfaces or pathways, R-5 red rip rap excels in projects requiring robust protection and visual distinction.
