Exposed aggregate concrete is a decorative style of concrete suitable for driveways paths and patios. The top layer of the newly poured concrete is removed to reveal the stones (aggregate) near the surface giving a lovely natural finish. Specially selected aggregates and coloured pigments can be added to the concrete at the batch plant to achieve a wide variety of different effects. River pebbles can also be "seeded" on to the top of the wet concrete to again create different looks and a smoother surface to walk on.
Aggregates are available in a range of colours including white, green, gold, tan,black,grey,mid brown,pink and variegated hues. Pigments come in a wide selection of colours - to see some examples please go to the Coloured Concrete page under Residential Paving.
Some good reasons for choosing Exposed Aggregate:-
-Can be used on steep driveways.
-Can be poured in various designs and colours
-Very tough and strong
-Requires little maintenance.
