Small Rip Rap
Angular 4–8" stone for ditches, slopes, and outlets
Small riprap is angular crushed stone sized 4 to 8 inches. The broken faces lock together, so it holds its place when water moves through. It's the right size for drainage ditches, culvert and downspout outlets, pond edges, and gentle slopes. Stone type and color vary by location, and size varies slightly.
Small riprap is angular 4 to 8 inch stone that locks together to stop erosion, not rounded rock that rolls away.
Also called: small rip rap, gabion stone, surge stone, 4-8 inch riprap, erosion control stone, light riprap.

Google review · Mentions #57 limestone
I recently used Hello Gravel for a few refresh projects around my Uptown New Orleans home and had a really great experience. I ordered walkway gravel for around the house and paver and fountain areas, plus #57 limestone gravel for the street in front of my house to help with drainage and parking since I park on the street. Everything looked really nice and refreshed afterwards. The whole process was smooth from start to finish. The team was professional, responsive, and really thorough in helping me figure out the right amount of material for each project. Communication was excellent throughout. They texted and called before, during, and after delivery, kept me updated on timing, and even gave me an exact ETA the day of delivery. The delivery itself was handled perfectly. They placed each pile exactly where I needed it, which made spreading and placement much easier. Pricing was good for the quality, and they were able to deliver on the exact date I needed with a convenient delivery window. Would absolutely use Hello Gravel again.

Google review · Mentions driveway gravel
I ordered 5 tons of driveway gravel from Hello Gravel for delivery to the Lower Garden District, and the whole process was seamless. Getting a big truck down here can be tricky with the narrow streets and tight turns, but they handled it without a hitch. Delivery was fast, communication was excellent, and I was kept informed every step of the way. They made what could have been a stressful project feel so easy. They really did help me get it right! Thank you!

Very professional and patient. Responded quickly to email or text. I had researched the quantity and type of gravel I needed for my project before contacting Hello Gravel. When I explained what I was doing, the recommendations I received were consistent with what I had found. Piero kept me updated on the delivery. I had to change the date three times, and he was very accommodating. He sent a picture of a sample of the gravel for my approval. The delivery was on time and frictionless. I would use Hello Gravel again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Use the calculator with your length, width, and depth. Riprap is usually placed about 1.5 times as thick as the largest stone, so plan on roughly 12 inches for 4–8 inch stone. One ton covers about 18 square feet at that depth.
Small riprap handles yard drainage, ditches, and outlets with moderate flow. If you're armoring a creek bank, a shoreline, or a steep slope with strong current, use medium riprap (12–24 inch).
Yes. 4–8 inch stone is a common gabion fill because it's larger than most basket mesh openings. Check your basket's mesh size before you order.
Yes. A layer of geotextile fabric underneath keeps soil from washing out between the stones. Without it, riprap can settle and lose ground over time.
Yes, but it's heavy work. Single stones run from a few pounds up to about 40. For bigger areas, a skid steer or tractor bucket makes placement much faster.
By dump truck, straight to your property. The driver dumps it in one pile where you choose. Pick a firm, level spot the truck can reach, clear of cars and overhead wires. Delivery is included in the price you see.
