About Riprap Med

Riprap Med is a drainage material in the 4 - 9" size range with a typical density of 2700 lbs per cubic yard. Larger, angular stone that maintains voids for water movement, used in French drains, septic leach fields, foundation perimeters, and behind retaining walls.

A typical residential order is 3-8 tons; full-load contractor orders run 16-24 tons. We deliver in tandem-axle dump trucks (10-16 ton capacity) or tri-axles (16-24 ton capacity). Pricing varies with regional quarry proximity, load size, and current diesel; full-load delivery typically saves 15-20% over partial loads.

Best uses for Riprap Med

How to install Riprap Med

  1. 1
    Slope the trench

    Minimum 1% slope (1" per 8 ft) so water actually flows.

  2. 2
    Wrap with fabric

    A nonwoven filter fabric keeps fines out of the void space.

  3. 3
    Surround the pipe

    4" of stone below, 4-6" above the perforated pipe.

  4. 4
    Backfill carefully

    Top with native soil or sod; do not leave the stone exposed long-term unless intended.

Where we source Riprap Med

We source Riprap Med from local quarries within the delivery region, typically inside a 50-mile radius. Short hauls mean lower delivery cost for you and a smaller diesel footprint per ton.

Every load is weighed at the source and the ticket travels with the truck, so you get exact tonnage, not estimates. Quality varies by quarry; we work with operators whose product meets state DOT spec for the applications we recommend.

Why bulk delivery saves money

On a per-ton basis, retail bag pricing lands at about three times the bulk truck rate once you add up tax, the haul home in a passenger vehicle, and the bag waste. At our delivered range of $90 to $128 per ton, a 5 ton homeowner order saves hundreds versus the bagged equivalent at typical retail. A residential project usually runs 3 to 8 tons, which fits one tandem-axle truck and one drop. Contractors stepping up to 16 tons or more unlock our full-truck rate, which is generally 15 to 20 percent below the partial-load price. Bulk also wins on time: one delivery beats 20 trips to the rack, and the driver places the load where you want it instead of a parking-lot pallet.
