What Is Exposed Aggregate Concrete?

Key takeaways

  • The top layer of cement is washed away to show the stone
  • It has good traction when wet
  • It works well for drives, walks and pool decks
  • Sealing makes it easier to keep clean

Exposed aggregate shows the stone that was always in the mix.

How it is made

While the concrete is still workable, the thin top layer of cement is washed or brushed away so the stone shows.

Where it works

Driveways, walks and pool decks, where texture and traction help.

Care

A regular rinse and a sealer help it stay clean and keep its color.
