Rip Rap R-7 (30" Minus), Yellow

Rip Rap in the R-7 (30" minus) size range is a large, durable stone aggregate commonly used for heavy-duty erosion control and shoreline stabilization. This material is typically produced by quarrying and breaking down larger rock formations, resulting in angular stones that interlock effectively. The yellow coloration adds a distinctive visual appeal, making it suitable for projects where aesthetics are a consideration.

The substantial size of R-7 rip rap-up to 30 inches in diameter-makes it ideal for high-energy environments where maximum protection is needed, such as riverbanks, bridge abutments, and coastal embankments. Its mass and angularity help resist displacement from water flow and wave action, providing long-term stability. While its large size makes it less suitable for compacting or decorative landscaping, it excels in applications requiring robust structural support and erosion prevention.
