Exposed Aggregate Concrete
Exposed aggregate concrete shows the stone in the mix by washing away the thin top layer of cement. The result is a textured, natural surface with great traction and lasting character, ideal for driveways, walkways and pool decks, with a wide choice of stone colors and sizes.
