What Is Exposed Aggregate Concrete?
Exposed aggregate is created using a concrete mix containing decorative stones such as riverstone, quartz, basalt or crushed granite. After the concrete has been placed, the upper layer of cement is carefully removed to reveal the aggregate beneath.
The result is a distinctive textured surface with natural variation in colour and appearance. Different aggregates and concrete tones can be combined to produce finishes suited to contemporary, traditional and character properties.
Because the decorative stone forms part of the concrete itself, exposed aggregate provides lasting visual appeal rather than relying on a surface coating. Its texture can also provide additional grip underfoot, making it a practical choice for frequently used outdoor areas.
Experienced Workmanship at Competitive Prices
Stronghold Concreting is committed to delivering quality exposed concrete at fair and competitive prices. Each quote is based on the project’s size, access, preparation requirements, selected aggregate and overall complexity.
Our goal is to provide lasting value through careful preparation, dependable service and a finish that improves the appearance and functionality of your property.
Exposed Aggregate Driveways and Outdoor Areas
Exposed aggregate is particularly popular for concrete driveways because it combines durability with an attractive finish. It can withstand regular vehicle and pedestrian traffic while helping create a welcoming entrance to the property.
It is also well suited to:
- Pathways and side access areas
- Front entrances and porches
- Patios and entertaining areas
- Pool and spa surrounds
- Concrete steps and garden areas
- Crossovers and other external surfaces
Our team considers the property’s layout, expected use, access, surrounding structures and drainage requirements before work begins. This helps ensure that the completed surface is appropriate for both the location and the way it will be used!
Careful Work from Start to Finish
The quality of exposed concreting depends on correct preparation and precise timing. Stronghold Concreting manages every stage of the project, including excavation, ground preparation, formwork, steel reinforcement, drainage planning, pouring, exposure and final cleaning.
Falls and drainage points are carefully established to help direct surface water away from buildings and frequently used areas. During finishing, the surface is treated evenly to reveal the aggregate without removing too much of the surrounding concrete.
Warren and the crew complete the work themselves rather than handing the project to unrelated subcontractors. You receive one reliable team throughout the job, with clear communication and consistent attention to detail.
