Rip Rap (Unprocessed, Basalt)
Applications & Uses
Rip Rap - Unprocessed Basalt
Rip Rap made from unprocessed basalt is a highly durable construction aggregate, sourced directly from basalt rock without additional crushing or screening. Basalt, known for its exceptional hardness and resistance to weathering, ensures that this rip rap provides long-lasting protection in demanding environments.
The unprocessed nature of this material means it features irregular shapes and a natural, rugged texture, which helps it interlock effectively when placed. This makes it ideal for erosion control, shoreline stabilization, and slope protection in both residential and commercial projects. Its natural appearance also blends well with landscapes, making it suitable for decorative features such as garden borders or retaining walls. While the irregularity can make compaction challenging, it significantly enhances stability and resistance to displacement, especially in high-flow water areas.
