Rip Rap Stone is a landscaping material used for erosion control. It consists of large, durable stones or rocks that play a vital role in various outdoor projects. These stones are typically irregular in shape and range in size from a few inches to several feet. When installed properly, rip rap helps protect and stabilize different areas, especially along shorelines and embankments.
At Yard Works Landscape Supply, you can find high-quality rip rap stone. The specific size of the rip rap can vary, but it’s commonly available in 6-12 inch or 6-18 inch fieldstone. The choice of size depends on the steepness of the shoreline—the steeper the slope, the larger the rip rap should be. Using a rock bucket during installation keeps the new shoreline free of dirt and other contaminants.
Whether you’re protecting a lakeshore, preventing soil erosion, or enhancing your landscape, rip rap stone is a versatile and effective solution.
