Reveal the natural beauty within. Our exposed aggregate finish showcases decorative stones for a stunning, durable, and slip-resistant surface.
Exposed aggregate reveals the natural beauty of decorative stones embedded within the concrete, creating a stunning textured surface that's both functional and beautiful.
Exposed aggregate concrete is created by pouring concrete with carefully selected decorative stones, then removing the top layer of cement paste to reveal the aggregate within. The result is a beautiful, textured surface that showcases natural river stones, granite, quartz, and other decorative materials.
Unlike stamped concrete which mimics other materials, exposed aggregate celebrates the authentic beauty of natural stone. Each installation is unique based on the specific aggregate selection no two surfaces are exactly alike.
The textured surface provides excellent slip resistance, making exposed aggregate ideal for driveways, patios, pool decks, and walkways. The stones themselves are incredibly durable, and the varied surface actually hides minor wear, stains, and tire marks better than smooth finishes.

Premium exposed aggregate adds significant curb appeal and is a selling feature that potential buyers appreciate.
Creating beautiful exposed aggregate requires precision timing and expert technique. Here's our proven process.
We visit your property, assess conditions, and help you select the perfect aggregate. We bring samples so you can see exactly how your finished surface will look.
We remove existing surfaces, excavate to proper depth, install 6" compacted granular base, and set forms with steel reinforcement for maximum durability.
Fresh 32 MPa air-entrained concrete with your selected aggregate is poured and carefully leveled. The higher aggregate content creates the signature exposed look.
A chemical retarder is sprayed on the surface to slow the curing of the top layer while the base concrete sets. This is the critical step that allows aggregate exposure.
Once timing is right, we wash away the uncured top layer with pressure washing or sandblasting to reveal the beautiful aggregate beneath. This requires expert timing and technique.
After proper curing, we apply premium acrylic sealer that enhances the stone colors, adds gloss, and protects against staining and moisture penetration.
