About This Product
Heavy Stone Built for Jefferson Parish's Drainage Infrastructure
Rip rap is not a refined aggregate. It is large, heavy, angular crushed stone placed specifically to resist the erosive force of moving water. The weight keeps it in place. The angular shape locks stones together so they do not slide as a mass under flow.
Jefferson Parish has hundreds of miles of drainage canals and an extensive levee system. Where water moves along those canals and levees, it attacks the soil. Unprotected banks erode, undercut, and eventually fail. Rip rap stops that process.
Beyond drainage infrastructure, it protects the banks of private ponds, retention areas, and waterfront property. It works at culvert inlets and outlets where water velocity scours the soil. It armors the toe of slopes where sheet flow concentrates. In a parish that sits below sea level and depends on its drainage system to function, rip rap is not optional on the right projects. It is the solution.
