Everything You Need to Know About RipRap
Size and Grading
- Size
- 4 inches to 12 inches and up
- Type
- Large, heavy stone
Heavy rain can concentrate along a creek bank or drainage route before gumbo clay has a chance to drain. In the Delta, water may sit on the surface; in the Ozarks and Ouachita Mountains, thin soil over rock can leave an exposed edge open to fast runoff. RipRap gives water-exposed ground a heavy stone cover for erosion control where runoff is cutting into the soil.
Set RipRap over the ground that receives moving water, including a bank face or the soil below a culvert, so the exposed route is armored instead of left bare. This fits creek-bank work and hillside drainage where runoff is concentrated. Where the work calls for smaller erosion-control stone or a heavy base layer, compare that need before selecting this material.

Common Uses
Shoreline & Bank Protection
Places a rock barrier along lake, pond, and stream banks to control erosion.
Slope Stabilization
Supports steep ground and embankments so the grade remains stable.
Culvert & Outlet Protection
At pipe and culvert exits, it breaks up water energy.
Channel Armoring
Rock cover shields drainage ditches and spillways from scour.
Why Choose RipRap
Holds Its Ground
Large stone is less likely to shift under moving water.
Erosion Resistance
Helps protect banks, slopes, and drainage outlets over the long term.
Limited Upkeep
After the rock is placed, it needs little maintenance.
Natural Appearance
Works visually with shoreline areas and surrounding landscapes.
