What are “fines”?
Fines is the term used to describe the crushed rock and very small miscellaneous dirt and debris found in any gravel or decorative rock.
ALL GRAVEL CONTAINS FINES.
What do the terms sized, screened, and minus mean?
These terms refer to the size of the decorative rock, as defined by the largest piece which would fit through a screen of a pre-determined size. The terms also help to denote the approximate amount of fines present in a product. For instance, the term ‘sized’ can signify up to 1-15% fines in the product, whereas ‘screened’ can mean 20% to 40% fines in the product, and when we visualize a product described by the term ‘minus’ we know it will have 60% to 70% fines.
What is Rip Rap?
Think of rip rap as large stones with angular shapes, larger than gravel but smaller than boulders.

One ton of rip rap will usually cover an area of 35 to 40 linear feet, spread 3′ wide.
