Exposed Aggregate Central Coast
Custom stone mixes, consistent exposure and a textured architectural finish built for Central Coast driveways, pool surrounds and pathways.
The Finish
Exposed aggregate is poured like any other slab, then the surface paste is washed back to reveal the stone inside the mix. The result is a surface with genuine depth — no two jobs look quite the same.
Consistency is the skill. Timing the wash correctly across the whole area is what separates a premium finish from a patchy one, and it's where experience shows.
Benefits
Exposed aggregate stands up to sun, traffic and coastal weather while hiding everyday marks far better than a smooth surface. The texture also delivers real slip resistance underfoot.
That combination makes it the most requested finish we pour for driveways, pool surrounds, alfresco areas and pathways.
