What Is Exposed Aggregate Concrete?
Exposed aggregate concrete is a decorative concrete finish where the top layer of cement paste is removed to reveal the natural stones, pebbles and aggregate within the concrete. The result is a textured, stone-like surface with natural colour and character.
Exposed aggregate is one of the most popular decorative concrete finishes in Australia. It combines the strength of concrete with a premium look that suits modern and traditional homes alike, and it's especially popular for driveways and front entrances.
Why Choose Exposed Aggregate Concrete?
Premium Appearance
The natural stone texture creates a high-end look that instantly lifts the street appeal of your property.
Excellent Grip
The textured surface offers good slip resistance, which makes it ideal for driveways, paths and outdoor areas.
Hides Dirt and Marks
The mix of stone colours and textures helps disguise dust, dirt, leaves and tyre marks better than plain concrete.
Durable and Long-Lasting
Exposed aggregate offers the strength of concrete with a hard-wearing surface built for everyday use.
Low Maintenance
An occasional sweep or clean keeps exposed aggregate looking great.
Adds Value
A premium exposed aggregate driveway or entrance is an attractive feature for future buyers.
Choose Your Look
Exposed aggregate comes in a wide range of stone blends and colour combinations, from light and natural tones to darker, more dramatic finishes. The stones you choose shape the overall look of your concrete, so you can create a finish that complements your home's facade, roof and landscaping.
