Exposed aggregate · Moreton Bay
Exposed aggregate, washed back
Exposed aggregate concrete for driveways, side paths and pool surrounds across Moreton Bay. We pour it, wash the top layer back at the right moment so the pebbles show, and finish it clean. Pale and bright or dark and speckled, the pebbles do the work.
How it's done
Exposed aggregate is poured like any other slab, with a mix that has the stones you want in it. Once it has firmed up enough, the crew hoses and brooms the surface back so the pebbles come through. Get the timing wrong and it either won't wash or washes out, so it gets watched closely on the day.
The strip below is one driveway from start to finish: poured smooth, washed back the same day, then the finished surface.
Driveway, path and pool, all at once
One customer had their driveway, side path and pool area done in exposed aggregate in a single job and wrote that we took great consideration in ensuring correct falls and drainage using a laser to set everything.
Doing it all together means one mix and one look across the whole property.

Common questions
Good questions,
straight answers
Anything not covered here, call 0418 772 099 and ask.
Can you match my existing exposed aggregate?
Usually, yes. Send a photo of the surface you have now. New concrete can look a little fresher than a slab that has weathered for a few years, so we'll tell you upfront how close the match will be.
Is exposed aggregate good around a pool?
It's a common choice for pool surrounds because the stones give the surface texture underfoot. We've poured exposed aggregate around a number of pools, including the ones in the gallery on this page.
Exposed aggregate or stencilled concrete?
Both are decorative finishes. Exposed aggregate shows the stones in the mix; stencilled concrete sets a paver, tile or stone pattern into a coloured surface. We can talk you through which suits the area.
