Exposed Aggregate Concrete

What This Service Involves

Exposed aggregate reveals the natural stone within the concrete for a decorative, high-traction finish ideal for our wet weather. We select and place aggregate, then wash the surface at just the right moment to expose the stone evenly. Sealing locks in the look and protects against moisture and staining. The textured surface offers reliable footing on driveways, patios, and pool decks.
