FAQs
Common questions.
What is exposed aggregate concrete?
Exposed aggregate is concrete with the surface washed back to reveal the natural stone within the mix. The result is a textured finish whose colour and character come from the aggregate mix you choose.
What can I choose with an exposed aggregate driveway?
The main choice is the aggregate mix, which sets the colour and character. We have finished driveways and paths in Hillarys White, Tamburri White, Lancelin White, Volcano, Magnolia and Snowy Mountain, and other mixes and tones are available.
Can you replace my old driveway or pavers with exposed aggregate?
Yes, we replace old driveways and pavers with a fresh exposed aggregate finish, as we did on our Hillarys and Kingsley driveways.
Does exposed aggregate need sealing?
We seal our exposed aggregate to enhance the colour and help protect the finish. How often to reseal depends on the finish and how the area is used, and we can advise at your free on-site quote.
What is the difference between exposed aggregate and honed concrete?
Exposed aggregate is textured, with the stone visible on the surface, while honed concrete is smooth with a subtle sheen. Both can be used on driveways and around pools, and we can pair or match them across an outdoor space.
