Service Detail
Exposed aggregate concrete finishes revealing decorative stone surfaces for patios and walkways.
Overview
Exposed aggregate concrete reveals decorative stone within the concrete surface, creating natural appearances with excellent slip resistance. Commercial applications include sidewalks, plazas, and pool decks where both appearance and safety matter. Aggregate selection determines final appearance. Crushed granite, river rock, and specialty aggregates create different effects. Aggregate color, size, and shape all affect the finished surface character. Surface exposure technique controls how much aggregate shows. Light exposure reveals just aggregate faces while heavy exposure creates more pronounced texture. Retarders applied after placement allow controlled exposure during surface washing. We work directly with developers, property owners, and designers on exposed aggregate projects.
