Rip Rap (R-7, White)
Applications & Uses
R-7 Rip Rap in White
R-7 Rip Rap in a striking white color is a large, durable stone aggregate commonly used for erosion control and shoreline protection. Produced by quarrying and breaking down natural stone, this material features substantial, irregularly shaped rocks that are specifically sized to the R-7 range, making them ideal for heavy-duty stabilization projects.
The R-7 size range ensures that each piece is large enough to resist displacement from strong water currents or heavy runoff, providing reliable protection for embankments, culverts, and riverbanks. The white color offers a clean, decorative appearance, making it suitable for high-visibility commercial landscapes, residential water features, and architectural accents. While its size and weight make it less suitable for compacting or pedestrian areas, R-7 Rip Rap excels in applications where robust erosion control and visual impact are priorities.
