Exposed aggregate concrete on the Central Coast
Custom stone and colour mixes for driveways, pool surrounds, paths and patios, washed back evenly across the whole pour.
Stone, texture and grip
Exposed aggregate is poured like any other slab, then the top paste is washed back to show the stone inside the mix. No two jobs look quite the same, and the texture gives real grip underfoot.
The skill is in the timing. Washing it back at the right moment across the whole area is what gives an even finish instead of a patchy one. Pick a light, warm, dark or mono mix, and add a border if you like.

Exposed aggregate questions
Got a different question? Give Jye a call.
Is exposed aggregate slippery when wet?
No. The exposed stone gives it a natural grip, which is why it's a common choice around pools and on sloping driveways.
Can I see the stone mixes first?
Yes. Jye brings finish options and samples to the site visit where it helps, so you can pick a mix that suits the house.
