Rip Rap.
Heavy rip rap armor stone for banks, ditches, and anything running water wants to take from you. Set it once and it holds for decades the material you buy so you never have to buy it again.
Where rip rap earns its keep.
The jobs this material shows up on every week — straight from the crew that loads it.
Armors pond edges, creek banks and canal cuts against wave action and current.
Lines the bottom and sides of drainage ditches and pads out culvert outlets.
Holds cut and fill slopes where rain would rill and wash them out.
Spreads discharge energy at pipe outlets so the water lands soft, not scouring.
One yard of rip rap, measured out.
Pick your depth, read what one yard covers, and order by the math — the same math the loader runs.

Coverage = 27 ft3 at depth. Armored banks are usually keyed in at the toe — ask dispatch for placement notes.
