What Is

Exposed Aggregate Concreting?

Exposed aggregate concreting is a decorative finish where the top layer of cement paste is washed or ground away after pouring to reveal the natural stone aggregate mixed through the concrete.

The structural properties underneath are the same as any other concrete surface. The difference is entirely in the surface treatment, so exposed aggregate carries the same base preparation, reinforcement and mix requirements as plain or colour concrete.

What makes it distinctive is the texture it leaves behind. The exposed stone creates a naturally slip-resistant surface, and the stone type, size and colour used in the mix all affect the final look. We help you choose an aggregate suited to the property.

Where Exposed Aggregate Is Used

Driveways A premium driveway finish that adds textured kerb appeal.
Patios & Entertaining Areas A textured, non-uniform surface for a more considered outdoor space.
Pool Surrounds One of the most common applications, chosen for natural slip resistance.
Feature Paths & Entryways Makes an entry path or walkway stand out from plain concrete.
Commercial & Public Spaces A durable, decorative finish for high-traffic commercial areas.

Our Exposed Aggregate Process

01 Site Assessment & Aggregate Selection We assess the site and help you choose a stone type, size and colour suited to the application and the look you want.
02 Preparation & Base Work The base is excavated, levelled and compacted correctly for a solid foundation.
03 Formwork & Reinforcement Formwork is set to the correct dimensions and fall, and reinforcement is placed to suit the application.
04 Pouring & Surface Exposure Concrete is poured, and the surface is washed or ground back once set to reveal the aggregate evenly.
05 Curing & Sealing The concrete cures properly, then is sealed to protect the exposed surface and enhance the finished look.
