Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions About Exposed Aggregate
What is exposed aggregate, and where is it used?
Very simply, exposed aggregate is a decorative finish where the “cement skin” surface is removed to reveal the stones and materials underneath. Because of its strength and anti-slip properties, it is ideal for flatwork such as Driveways, Sidewalks, Patios, and Plazas. It can also be applied to vertical surfaces like Retaining Walls, Garden Planters, and Steps.
Is exposed aggregate slippery?
No! In fact, it’s quite the opposite. The decorative texture of exposed aggregate adds significant extra grip compared to traditional, smooth concrete finishes, making it incredibly safe for wet or icy conditions.
How much does exposed aggregate cost?
The cost is largely based on the complexity of the project and your specific choice of decorative aggregates. Contact us today for a free design consultation for your next concrete project this 2026 season.
